who are the otherkind

[fledgist]

 

those were the markers of another fight
until we knew just how the angle held
there was no need to cross into the light

this is the god that took the only bite
whose mind refused to enter into meld
those were the markers of another fight

we did not say the meanings were so tight
but only that the symbols had not jelled
there was no need to cross into the light

the dragon told us of a complex plight
into which evil beings were expelled
those were the markers of another fight

so much depended on us saying right
the words which had a thousand actions quelled
there was no need to cross into the light

now in the castle we can see the bright
deception practiced by ones we expelled
those were the markers of another fight
there was no need to cross into the light
