My Entry for Steem Monsters Week 3 Art Contest!

A few weeks ago I wrote a post https://steemit.com/steemit/@hashcash/a-steemy-eyed-monster. This post reminded me of the times when we ourselves feel like monsters. There is a reason why we all are so fascinated with monsters.

Then there are steemmonsters - our very first monsters on the blockchain. The legend of monsters, is an eternal one and now that we have monsters on the blockchain............ this is history being made right here on Steemit. Who doesn't want to be a part of the history? I sure do, and for that very reason I wrote a poem and did some basic art work for our very own steemmonsters

The Meditating Monster (Created on http://weavesilk.com/)

I feel hot and yet I feel cold
I feel alive yet dead and old
What have they done to me?
My own face I am afraid to see

This shadow is me and I am you
In the end its not a question of who
To rise above the tide of fate
Wanting to be unique and not just great

Is it true that monsters have found a home?
Where my monsterhood is free to roam
I feel it is too good to be true
Yet with it I go through

As we look at the lands of splinter
We found us a mound of tinder
Behind it do I see a pyre?
Is it my fate to burn in fire?

So, I have decided to let the monster out
I could not wait for the time was about
As I see my brothers roam free
Happy to find a monster under every tree

With monsters did I find solace
Without judgement I show my face
Not a flinch from them came
For they and I were the same
