A poem I made when in boredom pretty much, just sort of came to me, hope you like.

_With Rising stinger and body sounded,  
All good dragons go to war.  
With honor and pride to defend their land,  
All good dragons go to war.  
  
Glowing eyes and vision unclouded,  
Dragons now must go to war.  
In names of rulers, and for their hand  
Dragons now must go to war  
  
Flames that torch the earth reprise,  
From Dragons that are at war.  
Eyes glowing bright, cause fear alone,  
From Dragons that are at war.  
  
Terror on wings, death from the skies  
Good dragons must go to war.  
To rip the flesh, and carve the bone,  
Good dragons must go to war.  
  
For banners rise, and kingdoms fall,  
When all good dragons have gone to war.  
For lives perish, and the innocent lost,  
When all good dragons have gone to war.  
  
For mothers mourn and fathers call,  
When good dragons have been at war.  
The battle is won, but at what cost?  
When good dragons have been at war._
