Fondness for dark imagery

Thanks to Nidhi for her cue on this one (including the title).


Somewhere along the way
unknown forces came into play
the harmless childhood images
found a way to digress
and moved into a darker alleyway

The Jungle book's simplicity
that children loved implicitly
took on a graphical turn
to become quite dark and stern
and its no longer kid-friendly

The lion king, a bildungsroman
Is another case woebegone
a story now seeped in graphics
darker shades and cinematic tricks
robbed of innocence of an age bygone

See around for more instances
where the assault on our finer senses
is happening with a new fondness
for something darker than darkness
dark imagery and nothing less
