The Eternal Death of Magic
On our search to discover and experience,
We create for ourselves, an unexpected consequence.
At first we see magic's beauty as outside our reach,
Until it's hunted down, and sucked dry by our leech.
Mythical creatures killed for sport and glory,
Ripped from isolation of a fantastical story.
The actions of the unknown repurposed for mankind.
Beauty; abused, hoarded, and left blind.
