Analysis of Die Another Day



The Dark Armed Dragon
Leaving in ruins everything it's past
Mourning and wailing
It's trail, 'tis true, the dragon was here

Invaded
To take one untimely, the beast
Doesn't heed petitions nor pleas
As it creeps with a sneer

With arms we charge
Yet it prevails, with ways so arcane
Again leaves it trail
Scornfully exists as it came

Time heals
We learn to live with the odds
But our hearts still long
For that one the beast took away

Our wishes, our thoughts
Two more decades, we'd be glad
If only he had
To Die Another Day

The Dark Armed Dragon Leaving in ruins everything it's past Mourning and wailing It's trail, 'tis true, the dragon was here Invaded To take one untimely, the beast Doesn't heed petitions nor pleas As it creeps with a sneer With arms we charge Yet it prevails, with ways so arcane Again leaves it trail Scornfully exists as it came Time heals We learn to live with the odds But our hearts still long For that one the beast took away Our wishes, our thoughts Two more decades, we'd be glad If only he had To Die Another Day To my D. A.D (poem title), we wish you were still here. We weren't ready to lose you yet, Could you come back and die some other day not too soon?
