It rests on the tile,
In it's daft exhibit.
It looks up with vile,
And gives a slow ribbit.1
It is a human,
Though more a monster.
Eyes acumen,
The beast sulks.2
Laughter abroad,
Staring and waving.
Feeding their flawed
Diabolical craving.3
When a young boy,
No older than six,
Looks to enjoy,
This monster for kicks.4
'What is this place,
Children raised,
To demoniacally embrace,
My true face, amazed.'5
'Look at the freak.'
The mother says,
He takes a peek.
'Mommy I'm scared.'6
'Is it my face,
Tell me child.'
Filled with distaste,
It goes wild.7
Lunged towards the kid,
Claws drawn, teeth clenched.
The steel bar has forbid,
It's brawn, the boy is wrenched.8
The mother screams,
The keeper nears.
The monster gleams.
The boy peers.9
A surge runs along it's back,
The boy turns in fear.
It's mind and eyes turn black,
The boy can hear.10
He struggles free,
Of his mothers arm.
And grabs the hand,
Of the former harm.11
Tears fall from it's face,
The mother pulls him away.
The monster loses embrace,
And starts to slowly decay.12
The boy is pulled,
Onto the next exhibit so,
The mother can enjoy,
More from the freak show.

Wow...Really good.

The poem was good. It was like, we create the monster ourselves. At least that was what I was thinking. It never chose to be a monster, or a freak, but that's what it is. I'm sad by the finality of it. There's no hope for the monster. *sigh* That's depressing. Great work. Thanks for entering!
