In the hands of man.

What if it is all a lie? 
Everything that you know... 
Twisted by the hands of men, 
who could not let there power go. 

Tell me when did all the dragons die? 
With the memory still in mind. 
They once ruled the sky... 
Lost in the ashes of time. 

When did all the mermaids leave? 
There sweet song still rings. 
I beckons to the sailors soul... 
you know they still hear them sing. 

What of the giants? 
The nephilim born of sin, 
a mistake that the unmistakable 
will never make again. 

A flood that cleansed the earth, 
in a time were magic ruled. 
With stary eyes they could not see 
the great threat the loomed. 

God washed his hands of the stars 
and warned of there potential, 
to open up to a world 
that we could never handle 

He let the unicorns die 
in the hands of Constantine 
a man with a pagan heart 
that changed absolutely everything. 

Vampires are now but myths, 
while Bigfoot was the great survivor 
he learned to hide himself 
in a world of hateful fire. 

You think my ideas silly... 
but a part of you believes... 
it is the question in that back of you mind 
that whispers of distant dreams. 

Where did we go wrong? 
You see we do not deserve these magical things, 
they do not deserve to be here... 
so they left riding the dragons wings. 

Washed away from memory 
By men with a greater need. 
Authority and magic do not blend... 
they break on bended knee. 

So kiss the truth goodbye, 
it flew into the sun... 
in a never ending fairy tail, 
the truth was kept from everyone.

I am often plagued by thoughts that fall parallel to the ideas mentioned in this poem, so I find it especially appealing. Again, the flow of your poetry is wonderful. The language, clever and colorful. Well done. :)

On the critique side, there are a few typos. (i.e. "tail" should be "tale," "there" should be "their," "dragons" should be "dragon's")

Well, if I were Peter Pan... I would never grow up, I'd stay in Never Neverland...
that way, I would never have to say good bye to Fairy tales. :)
Beautiful work! :)
