der dragon

Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)



why let the dragon loose?
memories of pain,
in his reign.
my life chocking
on this bread of life.
he was better off slain.
abuse on the son
the daughters.
they will let anyone
be  fathers!
open it's cage
cuts through the heart in rage.
i never know if it is real?
or just a real bad dream?.
my joyful memories never
to be seen.
a vow against his wrath,
prayed I would never
follow in his path.
why set the dragon free ?
no harm would come !
yea only to me.
stuffed in a cell , blind cannot see.
can't be alive while it's in me.
the chain must be stopped!
no more stories I'd rather forget
reborn a new me ,
always free.
no more dreams of
setting the dragon free
