Literature Text

I see you sitting in your one-man cage.
You will soon die for your ghastly crimes.
Several children perished in hellish agony--
just to sate your lust for blood and death.

You told them you would die by their guns...
but another death will be your fate very soon.
I thought you would look like Quasimodo...
but to see you in there, is to see a mere man.

Did you not have dreams when you grew up?
Didn't you want to be much more than this?
You threw away what gifts The Lord gave you...
squandering them to become a living Lecter.

No, I see not a monster...I see myself in you.
For I could just as easily be when you sit now.
You are but a murdering nebbish bound for Hell...
a reminder that monsters live in all of us.
