No more storytelling to avoid dwelling
on facts that call to action.
No more storytelling distraction.
When life seems more fantasy
storytelling undermines responsibility.
Only the facts, only the facts, please.
Give us only the facts and we will build
our own story, reach for our own glory.
No matter the difficulty or doubtful success
at least our lives would belong to us.
Manipulating the life of the tale leaves us
unsure, disconnected, and breathless.
We can take no pride nor have any remorse
for a story so overblown it is not our own.
Fragmented like all fairy dreams, we lose our course
in the heightened senses you endorse.
We simply want to live our lives,
and show our children they can survive.
Stop the fantasies. Stop the lies.
