The Ungovernable Steed

Who dares to tether this celestial steed,

Or bar the path where destiny proceeds?

For conquest’s sake, I unleash this might-

A creature born of ancient, sacred night.  

Upon the stage of cosmos’ vast domain,

I summon forth my mythic Imperial steed-

A chariot of fire, of blood and lore,

Where echoes of eternity encore.  

Have you beheld my crimson-brown’s stride-

Its noble head aloft, with regal pride?

In its luminous eyes, history’s blaze,

And in its limbs, the fervor of bygone days.  

This vigor forged through millennia’s grind,

Conquered nature’s chaos with a steadfast mind.

Not wrought by illusion’s fleeting grace,

But by the sweat of ancestors’ relentless chase.  

In primeval forests, long ago,

My forebears glimpsed this spirit’s glow-

Fed it wild grass, sang it sacred tunes,

From forest streams and ancient blood moons.  

Across the soil where shadows dwell,

Its hoofbeats cast a storied spell-

Dancing over graves of bygone kings,

Crushing empires beneath its Thundering hooves.  

Once divine reins graced its neck-

God’s own chariot on mortal trek-

Then armies drunken with might and pride,

Tried to tame this force inside.  

Religious edicts, dogma’s chain,

Could not suppress its sacred reign-

For from the earth, my lineage rose,

Warriors, poets and my culture’s prose.  

Born of soil, endowed with flame,

This horse, my soul, will never tame-

A pulse of nations, a boundless sea,

Eternal, fierce, and endlessly free.  

Who dares to bind this primal force?

Who dares obstruct its destined course?

For I release this mighty steed-

A testament to human creed.

In wildest strides, my steed conquer,

Unchained beneath eternal skies.

A force of blood, of flame, of lore-

The ungovernable, forevermore.
