A Sutble Induction

<br>The psychological impact of a film that we all love,<br>It`s negative imagery that preys upon our young,<br> *How could we be so blind?*<br>Now we step incide conceptually a different view,<br>And uncover the horror that we`re injecting into<br> *All our children`s minds.*<br> Born into a peasant monarchy,<br> A life of inherited luxury.<br> This newborn Prince with his silver spoon,<br> His life unfolds and will change soon.<br> His father, the King, is not ever around,<br> Never deigning to walk on his own son`s ground.<br> A tragic young life spent in a broken home,<br> Looking forward to years of life alone.<br>*Chorus*:<br> Leading the life of hell,<br> His story, you know it well.<br> In death he`d finally be free,<br> Could this be what it seems to be?<br>As this Prince enters his first few years,<br>A menagerie known as his friends appears,<br> *Misfits one and all.*<br>One, who lives to create turbulence,<br>Another, who straddles an androgynous fence,<br> *And we`re not sure where he`ll fall.*<br> Minute is his contact with the outside world,<br> Unhardened to the likely peril it holds.<br> Until one day, with his mother, the Queen,<br> He`s thrust into a ghastly scene.<br> Like animals, with weapons they`re pursued,<br> By men with butcherous attitudes.<br> His mother, the victem of the "Thrill Of The Chase",<br> With a bullet, she loses the deathrace.<br>*Chorus*<br> Then his woman is forced into<br> A precarious position and looks doomed.<br> Assaulted and raped by more than one<br> Members of a gang that are on the hunt.<br> Add to this the destructiveness<br> Of the fire that rages without rest,<br> Decimating his neighborhood,<br> Torching his land where his home once stood.<br>Brutal cinematic display, upon our children`s minds it preys.<br>A subtle induction into horror, with implications we can`t ignore.<br>Malevolence hidden behind doe-eyes, how many see through its disguise?<br>Burning itself into the minds it haunts,<br>Is this really what we want?<br>*Chorus*
