RE: Dark, Disturbing and Somewhat Horrible, the History and Origins of Nursery Rhymes #2: 🇬🇧 London Bridge is Falling Down 🇬🇧
Whoa! I've always heard mentions to the dark meanings behind old nursery rhymes. Makes me think of some "Hunger Games"-like society where kids are strangely aware an accustomed to some crazy sacrificial ritual. Now that I know the stakes? No thank you, I'm out. I prefer poker, lol.
Those were much darker times back then, that's for sure... Maybe the stories were also to keep kids in their place... hmmm? But yes, it does make you think of a dystopian society.
It's just ominous and creepy...
