Stanza 1:
“Can I help you?” the sky said.
The ethereal beauty
believeth not of their grass rustleth, amused at their brazen nature but
suddenly a two-legged wildebeest shall be their gaoler with their misshapen
frame destined to bring despair to their tailor…
“What shall we do?” the
leaves whispered, a sinister undertone tinkered, sure enough, the wind
initiated its vengeance, slamming into the wildebeest like a ferocious pillar,
the beast’s liver gurgled, mentally their neck the passing crow circled, the
environment was about to be encapsulated violence. The wildebeest paused. The
sky preparing to call the cavalry, silently roared.
“What we must do” it
said…
Chorus:
Greetings Destroyer,
Beast, thou spend time chanting Satanic prayers. But we the dragons that must
be the slayer, mistaken of your identity, trespassing in our humble garden.
Therefore we must be your devilish darlings.
Stanza 2:
The sky hurriedly
heroically called the crow saying, “The wildebeest’s disciples continue the
work hitherto and beyond, which is of course hereditary”. Then the crow cried,
“On my honour, I will strike the beast so hard I fear shamelessly I may give
him dysentery!” So of course the crow proceeded to call its avenging angels – the
hawk and the fox to treat nature’s bystanders to a sight that had never been
witnessed, potentially hideous, but performing Moksha vanquishing the
insidious, praying that the separate segment could elicit jealousy from the
coniferous…
The work completed-
The grass mused at the
unrecognisable wildebeest-
… Not that it cared
about the past tense but it was hesitant about the wildebeest’s cattle,
typically ignorant and innocent, a bad combination contrary to a beautiful
constellation, thunder abruptly destroyed that fantasy and lightning threatened
casualties but as the cattle ran for their sanity, the sky repeated the two
words but with a new anomaly: “Devilish Darlings are a separate family”
