A Long Time
Ago!
Once
there was a small peaceful village with a good king, but an aggressive individual
could kill, and get away with it,
Once
there was the most beautiful prosperous and lustrous green land with an advanced
civilization creative, and artistic of great riches that had to be well hidden
in cunning secret compartments,
Once
beauty was a curse for the egotistical, and powerful to amuse them and
encourage slavery with it,
Once
a stern governmental takeover would directly affect, and harm the citizens
without warning, nor protection, and with abrupt unacceptable brutal enforcement,
Once
one could not voice their freedom of speech through protest and derive peace
with it.
