After the Wishes
Prince Ali
Mighty is he
Living in deception
Strong? No, weak
Mighty not he
Oh, how deceptive
~
Once upon a time
And time and time again
Lived in poverty
Many, many men
Many more arabian nights
A croak of hunger
Aladdin, a young riff raff
With love and town to plunder
One fateful trek
Temptation in the masses
Aladdin comes upon Genie
Who gives him 3 chances
Three grand wishes
His future is sealed
He greedily takes the bait
And in blood makes the deal
But a devious plan lurks
One cultivated for centuries
A thirst for existence
A theft of any entity
So young boy Aladdin
So lost in the jewels
Doomed by his love
Through friendship he is fooled
His third wish comes upon him
And he makes the biggest of all
To marry beautiful Jasmine
And be prince of all
But the fine print was printed
And that one night still counts
So at the stroke of midnight
Devious Genie pounced
Crazed are Genie’s eyes
And blue bounces of the walls
A silenced Jasmine cries
As she watches her prince take the fall
The young body jerks
A final, desperate weep
Genie begins to chant
All while the castle sleeps
Suddenly there's mist
A dark blue hue in the air
And the vessel that is Aladdin
Is suddenly ensnared
Aladdin suddenly jerks
A deep, desperate gasp
A naive, joyous Jasmine jumps
And he’s suddenly in her grasp
Ecstatic he’s okay
She doesn’t see the eyes
Doesn’t process the deep blue
That made the brown die
