A friend of mine left this kingdom one day
To seek her fortune across the bay.
Headed for a new land with excitement in her heart
Where opportunities were limitless promising a new start.
Unknown to her, appearing as stone,
Were dragons asleep and full-grown.
Upon her arrival, the day shone bright
Greeted with kind words and smiling faces; everything seemed right.
With a trust in God and the people there,
For a while, problems were overcome with hard work and flare.
The dragons which slumbered were now awake,
Watching her every move, noting every mistake.
Patient and silent, they plotted their next move
Against her plans and motives of which they did not approve.
Unfortunately there were no white knights in shining armor
To come to her aid or to give her cover.
Plans once laid now are hatched;
With fear and intimidation, dreams can be snatched.
Dragons act together with one voice
To silence the hope of a dreamer is their choice.
The land across the bay has indeed left its mark.
A place difficult for eagles, but dragons enjoy the dark.
A day will come when each dragon will answer for their part
And stand before the King on the white horse with a pure heart.
Where were the strong who should be protecting the weak?
Why were words of untruth allowed to leak?
Where were the wise who are gifted to teach?
All silenced in too much details so no one could speak.
