A SAVIOR’S STORY

ONCE UPON A FABLED LAND,
A LAND SO FULL OF GOLD AND WISHES
IN A TALE SO GODLY GRAND.

HE CAME WITH GOLDEN THREADS UPON HIS HAND,
TO TAKE IN ALL OF HIS FISHES
ONCE UPON A FABLED LAND.

HE CAME TO HEAL ALL OF THE LAND,
AT FIRST HE RECEIVED THE KISSES
IN A TALE SO GODLY GRAND.

BUT THE HIGH PRIEST’S FACES SOON TURNED BLAND,
AND SNAKES GAVE NO BETTER HISSES
ONCE UPON A FABLED LAND.

THEY ALL DEVISED AN UNHOLY SCAM
AND JUDAS RAN TO SERVE THEIR WISHES
IN A TALE SO GODLY GRAND.

DIE AND RISE, NO MORE TO BE TOUCHED BY MAN
TO SERVE THE MULTITUDE OF FISHES
ONCE UPON A FABLED LAND,
IN A TALE SO GODLY GRAND.

-Alex Killen
