Saved by the Plug - a Poem for Friday Writings
 |
| from a google search for "Cinderella" |
Magaly has invited us to write poetry or prose which explores current Global Issues through fairy tales (let the retellings be bright, be dark, or be both). This has been a controversial issue all over the world. A demonstration is in progress over this matter this weekend at our National Capital, Washington D.C.
Country Saved
Miss Cinderella
She'd found her fella
He'd solve her worry
Prince comes-now hurry
Capital break in*
Night darkness therein
Pull bad guys' plug**
Make country smug
While the others fuss
No more killing us
She'd found her fella
Miss Cinderella
He solved her worry
Prince came-they'd hurried
While the others fuss
No more killing us
Notes:
* I do not recommend this, prison punishment may result
** What action might possibly accomplish this result I am not sure, nuclear depletion comes to mind?

"No more killing us" ourselves sounds great to me. Something must be done. And, soon enough, we'll be done.
Now that's a fairytale
Hope .place without war doesn't remain a fairytale....love your poem
