Monster Blood

by Keg - Leo

The good boy scout 
walks the old lady
across the street
The man picks up the buggy
helping the single mother
get her baby up the stairs
Nice that he cares
The Manager also cares
sits his customers down
No frowns
just smiles
The two friends natter
have a jolly good chatter
and laugh as friends do
The couple take their dog out
They don't like being in all day.

The good boy scout
bully's younger kids at school
he likes to beat
The baby was the man's son
Until he got drunk
and hit the mother with a hammer
he's been in the slammer
The Manager treats his workforce
and customers as unequals
Mistreating workers
The two friends laugh
behind their other friends' back
who is now looking over a bridge
Saying she's not coming back
The couple go shopping on a hot summer's day
The dog's left to boil, rot and decay.

Is it in us all?
