It doesn’t go where we need it May 10, 2012

 

 

We all follow

The Yellow Brick Road

Until we come to

Realize

It doesn’t go where

We need it to go,

The Witch always

Had a right to

Her dead sister’s slippers,

The bad witch

Not the good witch

Disney tells us

We ought to admire,

The whole game

Is rigged,

There is a wizard

Behind every curtain

Pulling levers

That keep us from

Getting what we know

We deserve,

Growth is only

What you can take

For yourself,

As if you can

Snatch the witch’s broom

Without melting her

Then you are kinder

Than most

The real challenge

Is how to keep both

The slippers and the broom,

Without turning

Into the bad witch

Yourself,

Click your heals

Three times

If you dare
