Neutralized

slip
the knot
fingers prying
desperately
despite…
their tremor

uncage
what should
never
have been

some beasts
are born unseen
but they don’t die that way

keep tugging
at the ropes

sooner
or later…
the hidden will show
expose
its foul
truth

evil always looks bigger
through
the eyes
of fear

without its armor
it cannot fight

it withers
to nothing
in the light
