Ought Dragons Be Slain?

Ought Dragons Be Slain?

To those who say that dragons not be slain,
A word of warning should suffice,
Beware the tempt of dragon’s gold,
You may just trade the gain at price of life.
The rubies made of blood and soul
Will keep your blackened heart aflame.
To work with serpents! Watch the sky!
And swooping snapping jaws will make you prey.

Behold the righteous man will hoist his blade,
He takes his banner up the charge
To slice the snake across the eyes;
He braves the burns of its infernal char.
Mailed fist crashes through dragon lies,
Inner strength surges and displays
Where purifying heat resides:
In blistered knights and twisting corpses slayed.
