    Derived from the thoughts of how many folks would be the monster, for their own good folk....

    Monster versus memory

    Happiness is something that should be,
    left unexamined.
    Let to run it's course in full,
    wild like the animals.

    If studied to closely, given to much thought,
    it is questioned.
    Sourced and cataloged, given a reason,
    left as merely an excuse.

    It is this lesson which brings forth,
    raw uncertainty.
    Picking and pokeing my way through it,
    I'm left wounded.

    Good people make monsters,
    happy fatality.
    For the kindness the debts are returned,
    good intentions.

    A picture laying tender in the wallet,
    a memory from home.
    A child honored in one mans mind,
    burned by the creature.

    For the right reasons they'd kill,
    innocence devoured.
    Sworn to loyalty to the good man and lady,
    love of the heart.

    Monsters smile up to the gray of the ceiling,
    job well done.
    The memory uncreased from the folded wallet,
    memorys victim of the good.

    good write very thought provoking. I can see why you struggled with this. In the beginning when you question examining happiness I took from it why question a good thing. let it be. I hope that is the message you were trying to get across and I didn't get it all wrong. good write.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
