Do happy endings always end happily?
Are fairy tales really fair and kind to all within them?
What about little red's wolf who was cut down,
hacked to pieces by the woodsmen's axe?
Not a day was left in his cut-short life.
He was hungry and without options.
What about their side of the story?
Malecifent was executed;
a sword to the Dragon's heart.
She was excluded and deemed evil.
What about their happily ever after?
Their actions may no have been moral,
nor so easily dismissed,
yet a villain should still have a good end.
Did they want to be called 'villains'
a title given to the wicked.
Don't all characters deserve a happy ending?
Is there really such a thing as villains?
Those who are deceitful, fierce, or cruel,
have their reasons for what they do.
Or is it a title bestowed to the misunderstood?
