The Dragon of the Regime

No matter how far outside
you feel you have placed yourself
you have shed the blood of your own
a stinking bile in your wake
and brother this is not in our name
this is not of our doing
complacent though many may be
as faulted as complacency can be
you will not escape
the fires within your own heart and mind
Though they may be an ashen heap in your soul
the demon of your doing will rise
a dragon of mythical proportion
it will consume you
keep watch
as we will rise as well
taking the beast by the reins
