that land.

an oldie. but i'm realizing it's unfinished, so this might get edited soon, we'll see. i'll have to retouch it up a bit first.

a lady came to town today

on the same day

and in the same way

as she did just last year.

she came with tales of wonder

and of glory.

she would regale us with story

after story

of a land she promised existed,

a land where young princes went on extraordinary adventures

and princesses wore gowns and flowed like the wind over a wheat field.

dragons were faced and dragons were slain.

the villian always failed

and the good guy always..

always 

prevailed.

she said we could go to that land

where true love was found.

many went with her

but i stayed behind,

and watched a herd of young boys and girls

walk off

wide eyed, high spirited and innocent,

into the last sunset they'll ever take for granted.

i've been to the land

that which of the woman spoke.

and it's true,

of lust, love and glory,

it's all there to be found,

only be the highest bidder.

the princes are just in costumes

and the dragons keep coming.

the princesses for rent,

and true love fleeting.
