A Greek myth

The Chimera's Wrath

Who is this monstrous fire breather,

Who controls strings of men to please her

Chimera, a modern hybrid creature

Every monster’s moral Teacher.

An uncanny tripartite beast,

Whose fate excludes becoming deceased.

Her head crowned with a luscious mane,

Protruding ears make her look insane.

The chimera has a serpent’s desire,

To watch the world be eaten by fire.

Flames knock knees on her command,

Licking every crevice of the land.

In slight sigh she ignites a hungry path,

Only a morsel of her soul starved wrath.

The mistress holds no mercy in her eye.

In heated whispers she will make you die.

Her flames will dance to your contradictions,

Personalizing pain to secret afflictions.

Your only hope at triumph a winged stud

Birthed from Medusa’s own blood.

Those who foolishly face her are doomed,

Expect the skin of earth to be consumed.

The queen of evil wants carnage,

She makes prosaic beings her putrid garbage.
