Frauds of Fairytales


Once upon a time the bad were the good and the rotten were the wise until the status quo was changed by the bad in disguise.

How tragic it was that villains such as these had managed to upheave the beloved and believed.

 Captain Hook was a father and merchant, well-loved

The queen of hearts was just a girl who never wanted the crown.

Maleficent got married and gave up her ruling gloves.

And poor Ursula, filled with grief, lost her husband who had drowned.

Now the good who were bad filled your heads full of lies, they crafted a plan so wicked, so cruel, that mercy itself it denies.

I told you the truth, I’ve handed you the keys, now it’s your turn to share the story to any and all if you please.
