A once Glorious kingdom

August 15, 2017

Once upon a time -no,

I should not start it so,

For this fairy tale I want to tell

Did not happen too long ago

You might hope for the fairies and princesses and rainbows

But this fairytale is different than the the ones you know,

For this is a tale of a once glorious kingdom

That struggled to and fro

Blue skies and and blue seas quickly turned diseased

As the king of this once glorious kingdom also turned to greed

Melancholic roses bled into the soil

As bees and birds and kangaroos rived in turmoil

The king of greed never wanted his need,

Causing his greed to succeed-

In destroying his once glorious kingdom

For not even a single good deed.

I’m sure you are hoping for a better ending to this tale

but I regret to inform you that this tale has not ended

For everyday we live this story

And not even realize,

That this greedy king is in this fairy tale

Lives in our everyday lives

Now this is not the end just yet

But I do know what i’d like to see

For if I was the ruler of this once glorious kingdom

I would want my needs and need my wants-

I would declare it a royal decree
