Dragon

A Poem by John Prophet

Dragon.
Wings
high
above.
Slashing
through
clouds.
Circling.
Emerging
from the
storm.
Humanity
unsuspecting.
Onslaught
on the
horizon.
Devastation
nears.
Dragon’s
fire.
Searing
flame
technology.
Cleansing,
altering
the way.
Once it
arrives.
Nothing
survives.
Remains
the same.
Dragon’s
breathe
zeros
and ones.
Altering,
rearranging
the way.
Technological
red eyed,
green
scaled
dragon.
Here to
stay!

At first I thought the titular dragon might refer to China, but after a while I saw it is technology that is the ongoing menace. I can see that, but I must wonder why in the end we can't simply pull the plug.
