Once upon a time

Lies were told to children

Hate was for the ignorant

Pain was for the strong

Slavery was widespread

Manners were statutory

Knowledge was pursued

Trees were abundant

Green was common

The young were invisible

Dominant was the old

Empires rose and fell

Blood splattered at the break of dawn

Specks of corruption were noticed

Once upon a time life was good as it was bad
