The Lost Boys

The Lost Boys

 

 

As their leader flies off

into his own fantasies,

they refuse to ever grow up

playing at their games

of endless war

where none of them

ever feel any pain

in their never, neverland

on their own little island

where they never take

any responsibility

for the damage they do

leaving others

to clean up

the mess they make

for their words

are worthless

as they listen to no one

never accountable to anyone

they care not

who they leave in their wake

of their warring

never answering to anyone

in their never, neverland

on their own little island

they run around

never caring who they hurt

like a wild bunch

of bad, bad boys

refusing to ever grow up.

Like Knight I at first remembered the movie, but then soon realized the analogy that could be drawn to many current events that are on going... Which ever the angle, it is as always a good write!

Charles - I wasn't sure if this was a tribute to one of my favorite Vamp movies when I read the title - But the more I read the more it sounds like Lord of the Flies ... no matter, it's just a great tale anyway! :) Great Job! Ken

Enjoyed this read, couldn't wait to grow up now neverland sounds inviting. 10 from me.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
