The Monster Within Poem by Etienne Charilaou

The Monster Within



Instantly put to the test
I fail to show how I am blest
the noble man has fled;
appears the sniveller instead

Lashing out this drunken lout,
like a demon stirs within.
The genie of my soul's lamp
at the slightest rub begins to stamp
