A feared beast

A dragon is a beast we fear.
Built of muscle.
Able to destroy anything in their path.
Wings with enough strength to raise themselves to the highest of mountains.
The cries and screams of families when their homes are destroyed.
But we know there is nothing we can do about it.
It’s just a part of life we have to get on with it.
Many people have tried to tame the creatures but most are killed in the first few days.
They are remembered for their bravery. An act to try to stop them, their ways, all these deaths.
But it never works out.
