The Grimm Brothers knew human nature and they wrote
of what they knew gearing their fables to the men of
tomorrow when children read their tales of morality
to take from them what they would in an early introduction
to human failure, communal and individual dysfunction.
The Grimms no doubt sought to alert of a grim future
certain one day to arrive were the world not prepared
to deter a catastrophic outcome as a sole dominant figure
featuring an overwhelming ideology of extreme tyranny
appears at last to challenge views of elemental human
rights. Brothers Grimm spun a telling tale of a fisherman
and a magical fish promising a reward of riches, kingship
the moon and the stars stopping short at conferring on
the fisherman the powers attributed to a heavenly host.
Heedlessly the world steeped now in its mood of serene
contemplation oblivious of that grave scenario sleepwalks
into its future as an ideology and its smiling, grimly
unctuous proponent promises global unity, amity and
harmony in his command disposing to overturn the fable.
