'fairy tales'


Fairy tales told to the young

Nothing more, right?

But, those tales are wrong

Twisted and molded to be brighten

The true tales lay buried

Buried to hide and never surface

The tales of Disney Snow White 

Nothing more than a lie

The queen tries to murder her thrice

The tale of Disney Cinderella 

Her sisters cut their foot to meet the prince

Ha, birds later had their eyes pecked

How about the Disney the Little Mermaid

Lost her voice, grew legs but hurt as she walked

Met the prince, but found someone new

A hut she lived all alone 

Then jumped into the sea, turning into foam

How about Dinsey Sleeping Beauty, hmm?

The prince raped her as she slept, having an affair

Later having twins and sucking the splinter out

Later marrying each other, oh, what a happy ending

But, fairy tales are just tales

But, best kept in their original form.
