Breathe out
flame, and fume..
for what?
Some dragon!
Lost , and searching....
A poor village-
impudence of innocence-
All fair play,
in that witch-hunt.
Breathe fire,
Terrify,
Tame the cowering crowd-
And another tyrant
crows-
from the Staff of
The Death God!
Human? One wonders...
The next lesson to unlearn...
