Our Cursed Gift To You
You call us pixie, faerie, sprite, elf, fae
And believe us to be some make-believe creatures
Despite seeing us, among you, every day.
It's not all your fault, we do try to blend in -
Not by hiding or being secretly concealed
But in plain sight, in your face, everywhere.
Yes. We live amongst you - in your schools, houses, towns.
We work with you. Against you. Aiding you. Killing you.
We improve your natural creativity,
Making you pathetic humans into prodigies.
You believe it's all purely natural talent, oblivious to our help.
We 'gift' you with such creativity
But not for you. For us. Nurturing your talents -
A higher motive hidden within seemingly selfless help -
As we push you to the top.
At your highest point we strike, a silent assassin unknown.
Draining you of your precious creativity,
Your life? A side effect. This is humanity's purpose.
To provide us a source of creativity: renewable, eternal.
