Their future's flight

was seeded by their past-

with earmarked earnings

failing to fend off the foul.

Their duncical destinies took root

as they found themselves grounded

in the Land of the Blind

ruled by a one-eyed king

and his filles de joie of lies.

So they stoled their freedom

on the wailing winds of wisdom,

gliding  through the Heaven's light

soothed by nature's lullabyes.
