Creatures of the Night -‐ by Antonio Hernandez
Bring forth the creatures of the night They are children of our uncertainty Screaming and howling they dance about our ignorance, indulge in our fears and feast on the meat of who we are, until we too become mere skeletons A mockery of humanity Puppets to our own distrust And clothed in prejudice.
Creatures of the night are conceived from mortal ego and nurtured by the works of human hands, carried through conception by all the good we fail to do.
Creatures of the night are born from the wombs of mental catacombs made of broken spirits and tattered dreams, delivered as payment for the power we pursue, and used as whores for the addiction of our fears. Bring forth the creatures of the night They are children of our uncertainty Like a true mother to her child gaze upon these creatures and know them to be yours – embrace them with open arms and see your mother and father within their eyes and greet them by name. Yet if you flee from them in terror and awe they will swarm to you and viciously drinking your blood, ripping your limbs, and severing your bowels until your body is no more and all that remains is pure humility and faith. Rejoice for not even karma has control over the greeting of mother and child and it is through this humbling separation of body and consciousness that we are ultimately liberated.
Bring forth the creatures of the night They are children of our uncertainty helping our spirit realize we are body no more. Creatures of the Night -‐ by Antonio Hernandez
