Harbingers

Here there be dragons
When there is nothing left to lose,
the dragons come and burn it all down

Dragons are change
Bringers of the apocalypse
Harbingers of the changing of the cosmic guard

The dragons come and the fires burn
Hubris burns so bright
The empowered in their haughty towers
Look down on us no more.

The humble in their steady way
Hear the noise and wonder
What new horror will replace the old

Those close to the ground
Will toil and suffer as they always have
The seeded ash will sprout anew
The ambitious will scramble
New towers will be built

Things will go as they always have
And the dragons will come again.
