The Dragon Slayer

The dragon slayer woke up,
To a world of darkness,
A world that lived in fear
That the dragon will devour them.
The dragon slayer grew,
Training in the fantasies of man
On stage and in film.
He grew in success
In everything that he did.
From poverty to riches
Never forgetting his humble beginnings.
The he took the reigns of California,
Slaying the little dragons plaguing them.
One by one he slewed them,
Cutting off their ugly heads.
No one took him seriously,
Thinking he was still acting out fantasy.
Then he decided to take on the biggest of all dragons
So he took control of the whole country.
The dragons lined up in a row,
Waiting to burn the dragon slayer
At the stake of ridicule.
But ever smiling he sliced their heads off
Bringing them to a quick end.
The last dragon, the greatest of all,
Who kept the world in darkness and fear,
And who devoured many
Who dare to slay him
Came face to face
With this fearless aged dragon slayer.
And much to its surprise,
This dragon slayer who was aged beyond
Any leader this country ever had seen,
And who overcame any ridicule
About his so called fantasy
Of victory where everyone else failed..
Then this ever smiling dragon slayer
Slew the monster with the sword of his word.
Now the world is breathing freer, and without fear
The darkness has been lifted
With the wisdom and strength
Of this aged dragon slayer.
Then the dragon slayer
Suddenly lost all his strength
As if it was timed;
He started to walk into the sunset of his life.
He walked for a decade into that sunset,
And now he has arrived to a new sunrise
With renewed strength
And ageless across the golden shores
And now even he can touch
The face of God.
We will miss him our dragon slayer
And our President number 40.
No one can ever slay the beast like he has.
