COLOURS OF TIME I know not the cataclysms that await my kin, I fear not the burials, the drownings or the heat, I have no inkling that a meteor Will wipe out my race forever. I hunt for prey as I always do, I roar with pleasure, I grunt with pain, I sit with my mate and hear her coo, I play with my spawn, I kiss them too. I learn new tricks to catch more food, I shy, I dream, I stand, I sit, I never imagine what story, Eons later, Crichton will knit. I go hungry at times, and dejected At the food that runs away from me, And yet I hope that more animals, Will come my way, and I will see. No, I do not know who in the world, Is mightier than me, But I, T-Rex, am the most powerful Thing on the earth to be! The past has gone, and I rule all I see, Future's not here yet, so why do I rue? My mate, she's calling me to her brood, Good-bye for now, it's time to sleep. © Dr. Taher Kagalwala Written for Round 8 of
