MOUTH OF THE BEAST

SUBTLE THREATS

Evil enters our home from outside,
catching us off guard with nowhere to hide,
sudden decisions are thrown on the table,
without giving time to see if it is stable.

When rising up to refuse the suggestion,
we are made to look small with subtle aggression,
tiny indications of threats appear,
bringing upon us an insecure fear.

We need to oblige the company man,
least we're demoted or given the can,
we do what we know should never be,
but through the confusion we cannot see.

Trauma and shock hits the family,
as it punches holes in our humanity,
a psychologist appears from out of thin air,
who's using who in this worldly lair.
