In some distant lands farther away from even the semblance of a civilization,

None really matters, for the once intrepid princess drowning in opulence,

Now stayed all hushed confined within the iron fetters of negligence.

Perhaps she would never be freed out of those forbidden lands,

Those alien lands of dystopia, yet the peacock would never abandon 

The princess of the forgotten lands, with an unparalleled heroism.
