The Monster and The Child

See here a hideous monster,  with many heads and blood dripping from its fangs. 

Large, overblown and clawing at the air, 

It seeks to threaten and intimidate all who come near. 

See then a child with a wild flower  

approaching this menacing hydra, 

and looking quizzically upon it. 

Watch how the child places their flower in a hole in the demon's armor, 

Saying, "Here, I think you need this more than me today." 

Behold how the hissing monstrosity  

then went up in a flash of beauty, 

Leaving but another child standing there in the light.
