For eons I slumbered

Moulded into the rocks

Civilisations came and went

I cared not

Unintelligent cattle, forever waging wars

Killing and decimating each other

I didn’t even deign to open an eye

At their pathetic antics

I slept so long

My scales become one with the Earth

Until

Until the day the very core of the planet

Shook in fear.

The once lush green now ash

Skies of smog and grey

The Earth crying in pain

And so I rose once again

To cleanse the Mother

Of this vermin called man.
