Dino Resentment
Once powerful, but now...
We were kings once...
Roaming the lands with our heads held high
indomitable beings with no fear
our purpose resounding and clear
to stand tall among peasants, never felled by
no one.
From Rex to Trikes
and Raptors that strike
species covering every gamut in sight.
No one standing against us in fright
and no one daring to take over with might.
We really were safe from every plight
until we saw sky rocks shining so bright.
-
Powerful we once were
Even large beings would lie in front of us and purr
Till we ended up beneath the earth mixed up and stirred
Resentment now seeding from how we emerged
Out of death measured by the gallon to serve
Lesser beings... we'd rather be returned beneath earth.

My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?
