Analysis of Mordor
Leo Long 1986 (Durban)
The dark clouds writhe
like serpents in the sky
and belch down brimstone
where unicorns asleep they lie
In the distance Mordor's spear
dominates on high
demanding submission
from whence dragons fly
They search the jagged peaks
For one ring to rule them all
The fiery evil eye it beckons
and Frodo heeds it's call
