Poem:Thank you Notes to the              Villains

by LW





Thank you Captain Hook,
Thank you for your savage acts,
Based on unfounded reasons,
That I still can’t wrap my mind around.

Thank you Cruella de Vil,
Thank you for wearing that beautiful coat,
That you robbed from us,
And turned it into something terrible.

Thank you Jafar,
Thank you for your greed and betrayal,
Of a name so important,so pure,
You are the evil sorcerer of us.

Thank you Queen of Hearts,
Thank you for being a nasty child in that aged flesh and skin,
Or as Alice puts it, ‘a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant’
In our hearts, you will always be that.

Thank you Shan Yu,
Thank you for using your strength and army,
Just to prove your supremacy,
There is a pit where your heart should be,
For that, you will always be feared.

 Dear beloved villains,
Thank you for your existence,
Thank you for your passion,
Because you made it!
You turn intelligence into terrorism
For a clock to be a bomb,
You turn my name and my image
 Into a sign of terror, not peace,
Because in this amazing time,
A piece of cloth around my neck is cool and hipster,
The same one but around my head stops me at the airport,
You turn females into nothing,
For we are weak and vulnerable properties,
Who you can kill in the name of honour,
Who you can assassinate,
When we are too stubborn to still go to school,

Thank you Captain Hook,
Thank you Cruella de Vil,
Thank you Jafar,
Thank you Queen of Hearts,
Thank you Shan Yu,
For all you have done we will always be grateful.
