Part of the end of term collection
In Camera
Ordinary monster thief of life sits
grotesque hunched stares at the screen
tap the mouse trap the image
tweak the picture.
Hear the children keen.
Toothed smile tongue flits.
Purloined pictures posted, sold.
Fantasy creations no human hand
touched skin, tasted lips
took advantage.
Observe the children stand.
Obsession grown cold.
Ordinary monster, merely a man
a nonentity, soft mundane
yet, contemptuous, egotistical.
Watched with amazement, he
denies harming, full of disdain.
judgement pronounced, processed and canned.
