The Beast Who Owns The Night

by Duncan Jones

"I'm the biggest, I'm the baddest!"

The rivals' sound was heard

But one and done was every one

Their challenges absurd

He let them have their rumors

He watched their silly shows

"I'm the strongest, I'm the fastest!"

You know how the story goes

As king he wasn't likely …

Even threatened, mocked, and teased

But the talking seems to come from those

Who believe their words the least

“The loudest noise comes from the boys

Most terrified to fight!”

No, you'll never hear a footstep

From the beast who owns the night
