The Lost Children of the City

Inspired by the  Art of Sanya Glisic

Do you know where your children are?

The school bell chimes

But the yard is empty

Where have the children gone?

Hidden within the forest deep

Far beyond society's rubbish heap, 

Its burns, its fire

Its callous revelry, 

That leaves behind the wooded scar

Lies a marvel

Of dancing bears and

Balancing tumblers

Mighty buckets and

Tutu'd divers

Maidens fair and

Poisonous creatures

Cycling lions and

Lions cycling

Bull-headed men and

Balls of string

Men of steel and

Their companion true

They all await

To awe and amaze you

So don't delay

Your visit, if you may
