He was betrayed

By those he loved

Left alone, to fend

Against the human

Demons who sought

After him, betrayed

By ones he thought

He could lay his trust

Isn’t it funny though

How we still carry on

This way, afraid to do

What’s right, until

It all goes wrong

And then we beg

His forgiveness…

Little miss prima donna
No power in her hands
Begging for the life she led
Once Upon a Time so grand

Naked hand with fingers bare
Baubles no longer define
A kingdom filled with memories there
Once Upon a Time divine

An empty spirit weighs her down
Pride now filled with chagrin
Her name no longer is renowned
A Once Upon a Time has-been

Ever a woman of wealth and means
Now lying on the bed she’s made
No tiara for this fairy tale queen
Her Once Upon a Time betrayed

Authors Note:  This poem is based on true events in Texas.  The horrific way in which humans are being smuggled and trafficked has to stop!!!

They’re thrown, like trash

Into containers, chained

Padlocked, no air, no light

The only sound, echoes

Of tears, falling against

Metal floors, they dare not

Cry out, lest they lose

The only thing left, but life

Betrayed them, left them

Stranded, unable to survive
