Your Moral Superiority


 

Your moral superiority

Defines the age

Kids in a cage

It's all the rage

To be hateful.

 

Your moral superiority

Comes disguised

Wrapped in lies

Hiding the cries

Of the murdered.

 

Seven Tales to tell

 



Once Upon a time,

I wrote you a story.

 

Woven through time

on the wings of crows,

and a girl with power.

There was a boy as well,

he had a crooked grin,

and his own magics.

 

I told you how,

they found each other,

through adversity,

and a forest,

oh and the creepy castle,

run by the monster,

who was really just lonely,

and needed someone

to talk to.

 

The crows drove the narrative,

as they always do,

on the promise,

of something shiny,

and the seven secrets,

which they swore,

they'd never tell.

 

Once upon a time

I wrote you a story.
