Who’s ready for part 2?
Anybody?
Well I’m posting it anyway.
“Is this what you want?” a faun called from behind
“An eye for an eye will leave everyone blind.”
Hornless flinched at her voice, and his plan’s ill turn
“Faunessa…” he muttered, “It is not your concern.”
“For too long have I waited, but no more delay.”
“So I’ll ask you just once to stay out of my way.”
“And what if I don’t?” she challenged his bluff
He met her coy gaze, and then said with a huff
“It’s what they deserve, after all that they’ve done.”
“Even my very own father disowned me as son.”
“These years I have suffered. My crime? Being born!”
“To be freed from judgement I’ll free them from their horns.”
Staring down at the tool, he started sawing
“You fool.” she began, “This will not change a thing.”
“Even should you succeed, inside they’re the same.”
“Their bias will grow, and you’ll be to blame.”
“I don’t care!” Hornless snapped, “What have I to fear?”
“I’ll leave town when it’s done since I’m not welcome here.”
A crack filled the air as her hand struck his cheek
“You disgrace yourself with this wrath that you seek!”
“Welcome or not, it won’t affect how I feel.”
“Yet you’d abandon our love like it’s no big deal?”
Letting go of his saw, the satyr rose in defeat
Against Faunessa’s strong will he could rarely compete
“Either way it’s too late, the spell’s coming undone.”
“When they realize my scheme I’ll still be on the run.”
“The funny thing is, they should be grateful.”
“To be rid of the freak once and for all.”
She stepped out in front till they were face to face
“Then take me with you, we can find our own place.”
“A place without prejudice or bigotry.”
“Somewhere far away, where it’s just you and me.”
What became of these two? My mind’s a bit blurred
But know they were happy, of that rest assured
Now for a quick moral, then you’d best get to bed
It’s what’s inside that counts, not what grows from your head
