Cinderella
she wanted
equally rights
a minimum wage
and the
vote for woman
Sleeping Beauty
wanted her
sticking rich
parents to
send her
to university
so she
could rule
the kingdom
with a gentle
touch
Snow White
needed
her
grieve stricken
father
to raise
above
his lustful
desire
and
support her
whilst her
Wicked Step Mother
tried to
poisoned
the family dynamic
Prince Charming
he
was gay
but
he wanted
to please
his parents
so
he went
kingdom
to
kingdom
but alas
he felt
‘odd’
so he
borrowed
shoes from
Cinders
a flock from
Sleeping Beauty
moved in
with
seven
little
men
and lived
happily
when we
read these
charming tales
of woe
are we
coming from
a deluded stance
thus creating
co-dependency
inadequate
insecurities
low self-esteem
judgements
fear
war
evil
are we
not just
informing
woman
that she is
nothing
unless
a Knight in
shining armour
sweeps her
off her
feet
selling heroic
tales of
power and control…..
Alice,
however,
felt down
a hole
met her
shadow self
expanded her mind
discovered
self-empowerment
was awoken
from a deep sleep
BUT
they thought
she was
as mad
as the
hatter……
