Life seemed to be on the edge of chaos
misery was spreading
with the upsurge in gutter poverty
and that haunting stare
wherever you walked beggars pleading
their will to live receding!
Arriving home one evening there sitting
on my porch step a man
this was my first impression nearing
its shape changed before me
coming to a halt uncertain what to expect
hostility began to detect!
For what seemed minutes it did not move
then crawled out of view
cautiously approached there was a stain
green and foul-smelling
avoiding the substance yet very aware
that it was right there!
Instinct made me turn feeling a presence
the mass was at my back
just managed to escape its fateful grasp
crashing to the flower bed
running from my own house petrified
for me nowhere to hide!
From their desperation they were created
an abominable creation of beast
were mutated by the pollution and poverty
until that moment had never seen
just an urban legend until we collided
my emotions deeply divided!
Illusions gone discovering it was real not fiction
these predators humans mutated
the population grew it became an affliction
as poverty divided rich from poor
once like me a human living with family ties
with all the hidden deceits and lies!
Life was chaos nights became a fight for our survival!
