Manichean Monks

Mishmash of furious Manichean monks
eponymous rulers of this indigenous nexus
credo of serendipitous peace and harmony
disrupted by an extraordinary calico dragon
seeking a satisfying meal of human haggis
attempts to monetize a friendship failed
depolarization of decisions and morale forgotten
a desperate battle for our survival ensues
hopes and prayers rest with protectors
our holy monks valiant bravery wins the day
monstrous dragon is thwarted and driven away
