Welcome to the Neighborhood

Once upon an ancient village, heroes lived among gremlins.

Innocents were taken to petty court the moment after moving in.

The judge sided with the heroes, but fleeting time turned grim.

Criminals joined the village, so more corruption was woven in.

Gossip was regarded as gospel, molehills became mountains.

Opinions were treated as law and used against neighborhood kids.

The heroes battle-trained the kids how to ward off demons,

and persevered with their efforts until a victorious win.

Some of the heroes stayed to continue the revolution.

Others moved to a better place of comfort and protection.

Most importantly, the kids continued as true champions

upholding morality and peace with great significance,

and using their multi-faceted intelligence

to influence a world of magnificence.
