Happy Land
Happy Land
Ah, the sentiment of innocence!
What pure joy it brings—
I feel overwhelming glee.
We giggled and laughed
Until the day is over
And the moon rose from the growing darkness.
I was a prince from the kingdom of Happy Land.
I’m the heir to the throne of prosperity.
We’ve entered the Golden Age.
I’m the Hero,
The Lionheart Knight,
The Voice of the People.
An Oracle foretold me
About this task called Ouroboros.
Life and Death.
Birth and Rebirth.
The All-Seeing-Eye never tell lies.
I must overcome the monumental task.
“What is it?” I asked.
“Life.” The Oracle said. “Defeating it is a remarkable feat.”
I’ve slain monsters and creatures.
Yet here I am. Doing taxes and awaiting Death.
I miss my glory days in Happy Land.
