Magic creeps in where it shouldn’t be.
\nThat’s what it delights in –
\nThe unexpected turn, the misspoken word,
\nThe mischief to be made and gift to be given.
\nMagic will turn the world upside down, if you let it.<\/p>\n
Sometimes that’s what the world needs –
\nA good shaking up so it can crash down.
\nSome windows deserve to be broken.
\nSome peasants are better as king.<\/p>\n
And sometimes that’s what makes the world hurt –
\nNot all good things need to be destroyed.
\nSome old ladies deserve soft places to land.
\nSome heroes should never be heard of again.<\/p>\n
Still, that’s life, or what we make of it.
