The Last Fairy Queen

And so she wept for ages past The end it seemed had come at last Her kingdom slowly chipped away Her magic also fading fast. The nothingness had come to stay To herald there the end of days For who believes in fairy folk "They're only make believe" we say. And then our children laugh and joke They say, "Fairies are just a hoax," "Let's put our faith in science and math" And thus the magic spell is broke. With no one to believe steadfast No life from us to there is passed The end it seemed had come at last And so she wept for ages past. Timothy I. Brumley
