Satyr
The air is dense and smells of nitrogen is in it
If it wasn’t for great tension the smell would be sweet
Towards the north great tower made of metal rather then concrete
The vastness of emptiness likes before a great battle this area befit
As two great forces fight it out in the sky
Supernatural thunder along with fire and brimstone will fly
As annihilating each army another will try
Back on earth old satyr next to dogs kennel will lie
His face is as gruesome as old moat
With bodies afloat
He has horns and legs of a goat
He has shaggy hair and worn out full of holes coat
He has rotten teeth and his back is aching
For mental illness medicines he is taking
He tries to sleep but constantly he is awaking
He feels like his veins are set on fire and his patience if fading
He not always had looked this bad
His visage was not always this sad
He did not have horns on his head
The cards were not so stacked against him to drive him mad
Once he was being of light
Whose form would delight
He was once as beautiful as he is now ugly sight
Unknowing what to do to make things right
By one small mistake that to him may belong
But it isn’t even certain who was right and who was wrong
And from that day it has been long
Since he was sentenced to sing unhappy song
But maybe he will rise again
Like phoenix from ashes to be freeman
Or if not he will instill fear like dragon from a den
Because having nothing to lose makes one a dangerous man
