The Assault On The Innocents Poem by C R Clark

The “She beast” lay silent
As the innocents drew near
Her talons were honed
Her heart knew no fear
Her gigantic beak
Was sharpened and red
From the blood of the victims
On which she had fed
I’ll kill these intruders
This vile beast would say
I’ll kill them right now
Or, I’ll scare them away
Then, she swooped from her perch
To begin her attack
And dove at the innocents
As they happily passed
She lunged at their heads
She lunged at their backs
Till the innocents were harried
From her endless attacks
Then one of the innocents
Called for the Chief
To come and do battle
With this terrible beast
The Chief came with armor
And weapons of wood
And battled the beast
As only he could
The beast, then defeated
Returned to her lair
To bury her head
In shame and despair
The “Chief” beat his chest
As the battle was done
The victory was his
He, surely, had won
The people rejoiced
As the innocents returned
To their own “cubby holes”
Safe and secure
