Restrictions: None
Re-enterpretating Webster as social implications misapply
Not Your Monster

My definition:
villain — misunderstood.
unnecessarily feared, reviled,
chased by villagers with torches
for so long,

he learned
he was a monster,
loved in secret
by children who understood
his tenderness, not lacking
in the same innocence,
a never-ending supply
for true torches.

By your definition (I assume):
villain — a dangerous buffoon
to you (though I assure
very capable), ((and not diffused
by your definition)),
(((despite your label
to feel safe from your own ignorance)))
by ((((false assumption)))).

I redefine by revealing
what you fail to acknowledge.

By association,
by this principle,
I have another definition
and a label to add, though
I’ll not make your mistake
to restrict egress
between the two of us,
friend,

ending here.
