This is 'NOT' written about DragonLadies before anyone draws that conclusion.

The idea comes from long ago.

Dave


Landing yet again for earthy pickings
Emerald eyes seeking prey
To watch prayer
on a mound of shining objects ego and ambition
To control

Rising into the rarefied air
on vapours
Of anger at the peasants
Uncontrolled
With fire might or thought

Burning buildings of ideas
To fury
amidst delight of return
to seek to amass hue
Before driven away in tatters of anger

A reputation
of periodic sacrifices
painted
In those
Who would not be controlled

And to be sacrificed

Why do men have this instinct of controlling others and why is the lesson not learned. This has a sinister sound carried on powerful words, dear Dave.
Love, Margherita

I dont know that it makes sense.

It is more an observation.

Take care Marsha

Dave

Margherita

The dragon was sexless and deliberately so.

It had nothing left but control.

Take care

Dave
