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.compoeticpiersbr br ivor or ivor.
