Neverland's Clock

Once upon a time, a line that

Enveloped the human mind,

Creating a pace and space

For the wandering soul

And the imagination inside—

Looking for explanations

To things unseen,

Truths yet unknown.

Once Upon a Time

Vanished from our day,

Gone were the knights and queens,

The flying dragons in our skies

Answers were fed instead of found

The creatures of past suffered,

No fodder from the children

Or the original curators of the tales they forgot.

Peter Pan and Hook

Played with the clock

Meant to ensnare all,

Teamwork between evil and angel

To promote the wealth

Of our Neverland—

A home of dreams

Ransacked to slums

By the ticking of clocks

And the forgetting of pages

In the great volumes

Read and repeated

By great ancestors

When Once Upon a Time

Was Once Upon a Yesterday

When Neverland fed on imaginations.
