Once Upon A Time

Andrew Smailes

Once upon a Time.
Such a wonderful phrase indeed.
This world is unsightly.
Oh would you kindly.
Rewrite this story, I plead.

To castles and Kingdoms
worlds full of colour and ones full of wonder.
maybe one in the future will do.

Though it hits me.
in these stories a plenty, how does good always win when evil is always on top?
If you think from a more real standpoint.
Good has too many rules, regulations would hinder its stopping of all evils schemes.
Really this charade has to stop.

Maybe this world is already a story.
One where good's in despair.
Perhaps evil in winning and good's just left spinning.
Unable to go anywhere.

Think back to your stories as this would is lost.
Every just cause is a big waste of time.
This world has no happy endings or joyful beginnings, just the slight comfort in Rhyme.

I'll stick with the stories since life is amiss or all the magic that makes it worth living.
the darkness can't harm me if my minds busy in the army,
of a story, once upon a time.
