Fairytale Fallout

by Scott Thomas Outlar / March 7th, 2021

Some good boy dug up a bone
from the age of liberty

gnawed on the old sovereign gods
hunting for a taste of what’s been lost

Some ugly duckling held a prophecy of truth
while the pond’s polluted cult threw their scum

the spirit of resistance against tyranny
never kowtowed one inch despite the odds

Some beautiful swan was prone to soaring the sky
before swine pulled down and clipped off her wings

there’s never been more reason to fight
than when the state starts stealing our highs
