[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5037255, member: 54707"] Whereas I'm certainly the first to say that Monsters should not be men, I also know from long personal experience that sometimes men make the very best of monsters. I guess it just depends a lot upon why you wanna draw the line, and at what point along the frontier... Monsters are monsters if human they're not But humans are monsters if all that they've got Is something a'lacking where there should be heart, Yet human or monster can both be as smart As whatever did spawn them when they were first bred But that kinda something is not in the head; It creeps up from somewhere where monsters are real And grows as a cancer that's likely to steal What men at their best think surely they are So that monsters among them seem distanced a'far, But truth of the matter is that some of them be Both among and beyond us not trying to flee Into that darkness where monsters are found For Man and his Monsters have their common ground.
