Polar bears follow in the footsteps amidst
this floating orbit, the ball that moves in
silence.
Roman numerals carved on stone; wild.
As time travelled, unraveled her scrolls,
endangering species through obtuse mild defiance.
Running away with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness giant.
If monsters exist, what else are we hiding?
Perhaps, the real monster is the creature
residing.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Loved this! The message is powerful and your use of detail is perfect.
The real monsters are definitely humans hehehe. Loved your poem!
"If monsters exist, what else are we hiding? Perhaps, the real monster is the creature residing." It is a nice perspective!
I'm with K. I liked the rhythm of those lines and the message.
Ooo, really liked the last two lines. Nice!
This one works!
