Demons
When the demons come
Do not fight them
You will only lose
Welcome them in:
Invite them for a cup of tea
Ask them to hang
Their fangs up in the hall
And put their claws
on the kitchen table.
Invite them to relax
Recline and take a pause;
Ask them their favourite book,
Where they grew up,
Wage peace, not war,
Reconcile your differences,
You’ll understand that
The fear they make
is just for show:
They’re more scared that you are
after all.
