Fairytale: Happy Ending Wanted
A w a v e to a stranger
despite their shore
may capture a smile
through times of war.
Running
for
and
towards
a
better
world,
with months and months going back and forth.
All for me.
All for you.
They fight
for you
and
for me
to attend college,
to read books,
to change the world,
and to join them in the fight against evil.
These are the everyday heroes:
soldiers
firefighters
police officers.
Maybe even you?
Without the heroes,
there would be no me.
Without me,
there would be one less princess to enlighten the world.
One less to salute every veteran,
to adopt every dog,
to watch the clouds,
and
to hug the tallest trees.
A world which I hope you would not want to call home,
because
veterans deserve respect,
dogs deserve love,
trees deserve life,
girls deserve hope,
and
America deserves a happy ending.
I cannot live in a world full of fear-
Fear of bombs landing on my mother’s head for
she does not deserve to die from cancer
nor bombs.
A world where princes do not exist,
because all the princes were poisoned by
selfish and bitter apples.
A world where people do not w a v e to each other, because of their
race, religion, and ancestory.
A world that should not exist,
but
sometimes the evil queen wins.
So, America.
Keep fighting and protecting.
We need more princesses in boots
and
more heroes.
But one day you’ll learn that a thank you is not enough
A w a v e is not enough.
A law is not enough.
Change it.
You control the ending.
The race has only
started,
so
when will you cr
o
ss
that finish line of freedom?
