SEE NO EVIL

Children mustn’t be scared and so are told lies,
The tales all end happy, and the hero survives.

Sugar-coating is a curse, the true tales are soon told,
Of bitter ruin and darkness, with bodies lain cold.

Snow White gets her kiss, Sleeping Beauty wakes up,
Alice comes back to our world as if just by luck.

But the final spin covers up a much darker reveal,
For Alice stays trapped at the end of her ordeal.

In Wonderland she remains, a bitter nightmare,
The horrors she sees would give you a scare

She sees them for just a short while, a blessing perhaps,
A mistake to think so, since her eyes have been snatched.

She wanders there blind, growing voracious and dark,
Her humanity’s gone, no compassion to spark.

She seeks her revenge, she wants back her sight,
Your eyes work quite well, stealing them is her plight.

You’re awake now and safe – she can’t get you here,
While daylight’s still happening there’s nothing to fear.

But darkness creeps in and you yawn now time’s passed,
Your bed is now calling you to fall asleep fast.

While you are sleeping, your mind wanders around,
Through mystical worlds and new trodden ground.

One of these places has some familiar creatures,
One is a cat, who’s wide grin is one it’s features.

A mad hatter, dopey twins and a white rabbit too,
In Wonderland you’re dreaming and Alice waits for you.

For your eyes she has envy, she hunts them with glee,
Once they are stolen, you’ll no longer see.

Disorientated, you’re lost, no clear path in sight,
That’s just when she pounces to give you a fright.

Her bony hands grasp round your shaking, scared face,
She snatches your eyes, and in her sockets she will place.

You’re robbed of your sight, you wake with a scream,
But you’re not in your bed, you’re still in your dream.

You’re the one trapped, the one stuck in that land,
To wander round blindly till you hatch a shrewd plan.

You’ll follow her footsteps, you'll follow her plan
Prey on innocent dreamers, steal their eyes if you can.

You’ll wander in Wonderland till a victim you find,
To steal back what was stolen by Alice that time.
