The mammoth

As a creature of extinction
It had walked the earth
Trembling the weak with its careless steps
Sharpened its tusks

Gathered his flock
Skinless were led into winter
Only the mammoth survived the biting cold
Alone it reigned, trampling their bones

Unmindful on an empty windswept ground
It monstrously came marching down
To find new marionettes
Something to sacrifice
But there, up on its back was a blind passenger

With rage it pulled its
Gorefeet up towards the blizzard sky
Berserk, it dragged its head from side to side

Yet its unknown rider managed to hang on
For a moment tamed this monster

With growls of insanity it
Kicked and pounded the ground down
Forming craters of anger

Still, its unknown rider managed to hang on
For a moment tamed this monster

Powerless, all it could do was obey
But its passenger was bewildered
About which way would lead to her safety
And which way with life she would pay
The beast turned and mounted the top
Towards its survival and her frostbitten death

The inevitable cold
Her whitening face
Inescapably destined
To kill the lives it led

Massive, it controlled them
Their addiction, on which it fed
They failed to see that its
Conviction was of no mercy, of no good deeds

Gathered his flock
Skinless were led into winter
Only the mammoth survived the biting cold
Alone it reigned, trampling their bones
All beings were its enemies
Could not waste its life on them
Was frightened when this one nearly steered its course
Knew not yet its course would come to an end

The mammoth laid her down
Its rider, its last victim
Fear now lit up in its eyes
Had killed the innocence. Aurelia
