Is this what they call crossroads
or a web? They're all together now,
tangled threads, a centre clump
and that clump could change the world
they made, the world they maintain.
In the end they only make a clumsy
pass at trying to stop the change.
They've created too many weapons
that have grown unchecked, grown dangerous.
They've planted too many seeds that have gone wild
and grown thorns that tear their dragonhide gloves
and slash their skin. Maybe a change is
what they need. Maybe they should let it change.
Maybe it is a crossroad
and not just a tangled web.
