Knock on Any Door

And hidden within
may be someone with a gun
who will shoot you for fun,
or massacre your children.
Knock on any door and hidden
within may be someone with
a bomb who will blow up a
marathon, or someone with a
dungeon who kidnaps helpless
woman for his twisted and
demonic idea of a love-in.
Knock on any door and hidden
within may be a bigot, rapist,
anarchist, racist, liar, cheater,
sexist, wife beater, child molester,
war monger, charlatan, corporate
raider, labor exploiter, blind
follower, manipulator, ethnic
cleanser, religious discriminator,
gay-basher, white supremacist,
trigger happy wannabe cop or
simple two-faced hypocrite.
Knock on any door and hidden
within may be the most monstrous
creature in the animal kingdom –
a human.
