Fairy Beasts

Be gone fairy beasts.
You are unwanted
in this place.
You would do best
to leave now.

Be gone fairy beasts.
You would steal
our children.
You would
take our milk.
You would break
our valuables.

Be gone fairy beasts.
We do not
have dealings
with your sort.

Be gone fairy beasts.
You would take away
our old lives
and when you leave
you would take away
our new one.

Be gone fairy beasts.
We cannot exchange
our children.
We have no milk
that we can spare.
We have no valuables
we can let you break.
We have no need
for the panic
of a changing life.
Be gone fairy beasts
and bother us no more.
