“Phoenix”

Meet its crystal gaze

Your soul will burst ablaze

Eye to Eye its deathly glare

Try to kill it if you dare

The beast will cast its stare

Leaving you in disrepair

It beckons with explosive heat

This is one tough foe to beat

Scathing flames and scorching trees

Every last opponent flees

As you can see, it’s clearly vile

Punishment without a trial

Brace yourself, the mbumive flare

Smashing you into despair

Delving deep into your mind

Wisdom will be blind

Once exposed, its breath of shadow

Every speck it will devour

No second chance, no extra life

Don’t go down without a fight

Don’t be fooled, or in denial

Your efforts are futile

You will suffer in defeat

As history WILL repeat

Hard or fast; it doesn’t matter

You’ll still crash into the waters

Once again the hero loses

With much more than mere bruises…

Look into my eyes of dark

And let me say this last remark

To avoid this ghastly fate

Steer clear- the bird of hate!
