Can you answer this Riddle?

Once there were dragons with a pure flame.

And the burnt grass would always grow again.

No smoke in those days without a sholesome fire

Whether from good feasting or a funeral pyre.

Now there is nothing like that at all;

Man dreamed of money and he built me tall.

'More matter!' I cry, 'More matter, less art!'

And the stained plume at my tip gladdens no-one's heart.

    Maybe I could if I was sure what to answer. It seems more like a statement than a question. Oh well here goes nothing.....

    Hmm shouldn't it ask a question at the end? If it asks a question at the end then it can be answered..if it doesn't there won't be any answer. Thus it's not a riddel at all.

    That's a poem not A riddle. But if it is, no I can't guess it.
