When Dragons Died

 
Dark and louring poisoned sky
In a land where dragon’s used to fly
Fire of mouth and thrashing tails
Fulgent were their armoured scales
 
O’er mountains dark and silvered lake
Screeched protest they for Merlin’s wake
Legend old and myth combine
Memories of a long lost time
 
When prince and pauper danced in spring
When witch and warlock proud did sing
When land was clean and sea was pure
When knights were bold and maids demure
 
Those days are past, will not return
For man will not his lesson learn
To nurture nature’s priceless prize
Now hurtles to his own demise
 
The dragon’s murdered witches slain
In the name of progress, need of gain
Brave Arthur moulders in his grave
No one’s left the land to save
 
Our god’s are money, power, war
As we acquire more, yet more
In his crass folly man won’t see
He destroys his childrens’ legacy  
 
I went in search of dragon’s den
And magic far beyond my ken
But all I found that once was grand
Is whoring now in Disneyland
