The Goddess Who Reigns

Some people must reign with iron control
They must quash any spark of life
That exists beyond their own
They must carve another into what they too have become --
And if they cannot; And the other strikes back
After taking so much
They can smile as they see that flicker re-ignite and carry on.
It is a game to them and they love to see another rise from the ashes.
