Dragon Spotting (84)

1

People ask me about dragons

Are they really bold and brave?

Are they monsters in the making

That don’t know how to behave?

Do their mouths fill up with fire?

Do their teeth glow red and white?

Do they threaten to destroy you

In the middle of the night?

Peace and love are truly awesome

But they have had their day for sure

Now the people of most nations

Serve the true masters of war

Has justice abdicated?

This being the price we are prepared to pay

To prevent the dragon from knocking on our door

Since its common knowledge power controls the law

2

This describes dragons exactly

Please don’t ignore what I say

To become a dragon hunter

Is most ill-advised today

Since most end up in the grave yard

Contemplating what went wrong

When confronting a live dragon

That is mighty fierce and strong

Soldiers murdered Che Guevara

I believe it was a firing squad

On the orders of the dragon

Acting more like it was God

Confronted by such power

The others fled in awe

Realising the dragon

Commands the true masters of war

3

Gerald Bull took several bullets

And Gaddafi a sharpened knife

When you have the fire power

It’s all too easy to cheapen life

Justice flees from the battle

Seeking a good place to hide

And the vacuum thus created

Is where hate chooses to reside

Peace and love are truly awesome

But they have had their day for sure

Now the people of most nations

Serve the true masters of war

Has justice abdicated?

This being the price we are prepared to pay

To prevent the dragon from knocking on our door

Since its common knowledge power controls the law

4

So are dragons brutal killers?

Yes they really are my friend

Since they have the fire power

And the big money to spend

Developing brand new weapons

Even more deadly than the last

In the knowledge that true justice

Now belongs in the distance past

Soldiers murdered Che Guevara

I believe it was a firing squad

On the orders of the dragon

Acting more like it was God

Confronted by such power

The others fled in awe

Realising the dragon

Commands the true masters of war

Peace and love are truly awesome

But they have had their day for sure

Now the people of most nations

Serve the true masters of war

Has justice abdicated?

This being the price we are prepared to pay

To prevent the dragon from knocking on our door

Since its common knowledge power controls the law

The End
