'mankind will survive even the toughest tests'
Her flaming soul, and fiery passion, sang a song of sorrow
For she knew her innocuous life would be soon consumed
By a heartless beast with jagged teeth……….come tomorrow
Her limp and inert body, would putrefy, in a desolate tomb
For her life had been strangled, by transgression and evil deeds
Waving gently in the morning wind, her hair swept gracefully
Singing in to herself, ‘oh what an excessive life to lead’
She picked herself off the ground, revelled in the searing heat
Admired the sea, and lowered herself in to the daunting cave
Where she would rot, and put an end to these haunting days
The cave walls, were graphically scattered with hieroglyphics
Telling of a time long ago…..when all was deadly and horrific
Emptiness surrounded her, every step was a new adventure
Treading charily, so as not to collide with hanging rocks
Her shining locks, were the only source of light, all else was dark
But with a hasty spark, the cave lit up, and revealed its secrets
Skeletons long deceased and gone, left this lady’s anger heated
Defeated, they lay in a gathered pile, there forever they would stay
Until the day, a valiant woman came, and gave her life away
‘many will die, so that a lady will be left unprotected
She must give her life, for them to be resurrected’
Engraved in the walls, weathered after years of existence
This long forgotten curse, made this lady’s choice decisive
With a subservient soul, and a heart open wide
The lady inside this cave, stood boldly to one side
And called upon the beast, to fulfil his malicious deed
‘Come evil beast, come quickly for me
For it is I you want, and it is I you shall get’
With a ground shaking roar, the horrific beast leapt
And devoured this lady, until there was nothing left
Licking his lips, and grinning in great satisfaction
Not sentient that the curse, was coming in to action
He lay on the dusty and dicey ground, and slept like a king
While the skeletons woke up, and got together to sing.
‘Your imprudence will soon be your demise
For within your fattened body, our mistress lies
Awaiting us to free her soul, for she freed ours
So evil beast, this is your final hour’
They crept upon him, crushing his ego and pride
Between their mighty hands, the beast cried and died
It was too late for him, he had sown his seed
Now for his behaviour he must pay his deed
He has been killed for attempting to trick mankind
Now mankind will show his brilliant might
All this happened in the cave that night
Completely concealed to those outside
