The Dragoness last of her race. <br /> Lies somnolent beneath the sun, <br /> there will be none to take her place. <br /> Remembering her youth long gone. <br /> <br />Three thousand years of life she’s seen. <br /> The Dragons are a long lived race. <br />She can recall when there had been <br />a world of peace, a perfect place. <br /> <br /> <br />But upstart monkeys, protomen. <br />A warlike and fast breeding race <br /> which quickly and grew again. <br />Usurped the Dragons living space. <br /> <br />They forced the Dragons to withdraw <br /> from where they’d lived for centuries. <br />But still the men demanded more <br />of the fertile territories. <br /> <br />Though Dragons were more powerful. <br /> By nature peaceably inclined <br />did not resist as usual <br />and this encouraged humankind. <br /> <br />To spread across each continent <br /> and keep the Dragons in retreat. <br />Their numbers grew incontinent. <br />The Dragon race could not compete. <br /> <br />The Dragons rule brought to a close <br /> The age of peace on earth was gone <br /> simply because the dragons chose <br /> not to resist.Should they have done? <br /> <br />That is the question in her mind <br /> as she waits patiently to die. <br />The last survivor of her kind <br />She asks but she gets no reply. <br /> <br />The human race now rules supreme. <br />Rather a doubtful victory <br />A night mare fashioned from a dream <br /> for man is mans worst enemy. <br /> <br />6-Oct-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chaos-rules-for-friend-thad/
