Toy Soldiers


"Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair"
moonbeams and dragons and castles in the air
toy tanks and soldiers we laugh and play war
fall down defeated then come back for more 

build the blocks high to knock them all down
set off in search of some mystical crown
when did the innocence turn into steel?
how did the fantasies all become real? 

who broke the wall, who crossed the line
between things in the flesh and those in the mind?
hold fast onto nothingness, try to pretend
that it's all just a dream, child's play again.
