Turtles are dragons <br />And dragons are squrills. <br />Life twinkles <br />Beyond the imagination. <br />Creating monsters out of air, <br />And nightmares out of smoke. <br /> <br />Once I could remember <br />Toy planes and cities <br />Runways with green <br />Golden lights, <br />Johnson grass jungles, <br />A stately lost land. <br /> <br />War. <br />Did we forget <br />The ideas of innocence? <br />Did the dragons <br />Create the fear, <br />The evil? <br /> <br />Did we learn too well <br />That hate can kill, <br />And gold can be fake? <br /> <br />Or does the fairytale end; <br />With cities in ruin, <br />And planes that blow up?<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/9-11-2001/
