DARK SIDE 

You walk on the dark side of the world,
your cat-eyes gleaming from a proud face;
laughing as people turn from your sight,
or drive you, again, back to your own race.

You walk on the dark side of the world,
your mind-piercing magic belongs not to Man-
thus people view you with fear-laden eyes
and seek to destroy you whenever they can.

You walk on the dark side of the world,
memories whisper of centuries passed-
while you gaze towards a thousand new years
And smile slowly- knowing you’ll last!
