Dragon Slayers

It whispers in your ear,

As a wolf to a lamb,

Ready to lead it to the woods.

Craving blood, flesh,

The rush of release.

Just let go, be free.

Choke me like the animal you are.

You are a savage, a madman

Abstinence means nothing.

In and out,

We dance our waltz.

Submit to your master, thrall.

Daggers lie poised in the dark,

Waiting for that moment,

That show of weakness.

Do you not realise, child,

Dragon Slayers are celebrated

Only when millions die in the attempt.

If Dragons were tame,

Who would pay for their heads?
