Dark Vs Light a Nursery Rhyme
A sadness was engulfing eating away at her
Things have changed pleas now all unheard
The faith others had held is slowly dwindling
Her pull on the collective, another is swindling
The darkness wants to evict her once more
The few she had allowed now ask what for
Had she lost her touch to ever again mislead
Would she pay a cost for her evil misdeed
Her blackness now jealousy turned green
No longer in darkness did she hold title of queen
The hatred within her festered a deep angry red
The very sanity she once had now had laid dead
Could she ever come back from this abyss
Would her lil monsters never again miss
Told once when it came to this bitter fight
Darkness would lose out to the brighter light
Once cackled at this fleeting thought
All her plans began to unravel for naught
So long she had plotted lights very doom
Played others a bit too close and a bit too soon
All left for her was the damsel in distress
Was it too late to deploy, she couldn’t confess
Darkness fault light held not an ounce of blame
She wanted that the light to be put to some shame
She cried Wolf again, alas none would notice
She’d have to portray herself as evil poetess
Was clear her mindstate wasn’t framed right
Left her with only to at last slink into the night
