Dragon King Daughter Poem by Poetical Analysis

Dragon King Daughter



Rise to the throne of your father

With your silver, gleaming, translucent tongue

So the Livings' song is sung

And finally, we hear the sacred bell rung

Your children never knew your womb

Stead, they're cradled by Civilization's tomb

The ache in your arms echoes their tears

Even together, you can only mitigate fears

You've seen your life unfold like Western Democracy

You've earnestly navigated all the hypocrisy

Now, are you ready to stop & see

The spot that you've found on that unseen ground

Upon which you are still sitting down

Can you speak like a crow & stay still like a rabbit

Are you filled by the sun or driven by habit

Can you see man as both: son; & dead

Can you wish to hold him in, as well as, cut off his head

Dragon King Daughter

Raise up the ocean, rise upon the water
