A Need for Pan

by Marc Mangel

 

I find myself in sudden need

of Tinkerbell and Peter the P.

to whisk me away to some place nice

and happy, where love abounds

it never rains and only

Captn Hook hates

where is P. the Pan

did they finally catch him and

drag him from Never

Never

Land

to be put into an iron box and

to grow old hopelessly

like the rest of us

to forget peace and childhood

happy

to live in war

and death?

Peter Pan we call your name

we demand your presence

for we need your

help
