From Our Dinosaur Masters

No thoughts left behind – memories full of pain
A planet of freed slaves
Freedom from our biological – molecular chain
From our dinosaur masters
Inherited a mouth full of teeth – a head full of bone 
We have imagined dragons - worst monsters

Never stayed long enough to enjoy their reign
Hearts in mind – we fly a white flag
The earth moved and all life was foreign
Sleep deprived – our dreams are vague 
The source of power – the fire that burns within 
This vision was never ours to argue
