Where Monsters Can Grow
©1998 RHL
Reprinted with permission from RHL School
Beware of the monsters
Who dwell in the mind,
Who grow in the shelter
Of shadows they find.
Beware of the demons
Who hide from the lights,
Who only survive
When our spirits lose sight.
Those creatures can thrive
Where our knowledge is low;
They fill in the spaces
Of what we don’t know.
Beware of the monsters
That cause us to hate,
To strike out in anger
When we can’t relate.
For ignorance darkens
The mind and the heart,
And helps all our monsters
To tear us apart.
But learning and thinking
Will strengthen us so
We won’t be the places
Where monsters can grow.
Discussion
This poem reminds the reader that the lack of knowledge can lead to unwarranted fears, anger, and even hate. If we do not make the effort to learn about things that we do not know or understand, we create beliefs in our minds that do not exist at all in reality. This poem communicates how easy it can be to make assumptions in the absence of knowledge.
