The Death Of Disney When I was a lot younger An innocent child of three I used to watch my fairy tales With Mother on the TV And when I grew a bit older A curious child of eight I wondered if #life was as simple As the tales that Disney creates So I gathered all of my courage And I sat on Mother's knee Asked her 'What's #life really like?' And here's what she said to me 'My love I wish I could tell you That #life was always this fine And that you will never suffer And your days will be filled with sunshine But you are my only daughter, To lie to you would be a crime, I want you to know what's out there To know what you'll deal with with time The good and bad aren't black and white And you won't always know, Who to love and who to hate The difference from friend and foe The men that seem like princes Could be the ones you shouldn't befriend And the wickedest of witches Could be your greatest friend Your #life lies in your hands And not the power of others There is no spell to make things well Forget about fairy Godmothers! The brave die and wars aren't won They just go on and on and on They arent't for country Or King or Valour They're for greed and dollar Or to settle a score, Or the want of a product From a foreign shore And you'll never transform From rags to riches overnight It takes years of hard work Of stress and fights And whilst we're on it, Wishing on a star Won't get you very far It's a ball of gas in space A million miles away... ...Don't cry my love I'm sorry to be frank But if it's money you want Don't ask a star ask a bank!' At this point I ran to my room and cried Aghast at the things that #life would provide Clutching my bears I lay on my bed Feeling my stomach become heavy with dread But now I am a lot older A wiser child of twenty three I've seen the ups and downs of #life And I understand why she prepared me Phew - that's it now! That's all my old stuff (apart from some archives that aren't rely relevant to who I am now so, whilst they're not bad, I don't really want to post them!)
