When Alice ran to Wonderland
We remarked in awe
A quaint adventure of a little girl
is what we usually saw
But look at what you really see
past each character and simile
Life reflected back on you
Fantasy mixed with something true
Alice will tumble far
the holes in life are often deep
but there is always a bottom
regardless of how steep
Her journey takes her back home again
But she is changed thanks to where she's been
Wonderland was full of danger and delight
Much as reality is a concoction of wrong and right
Follow not the Cheshire cat
tricksters will lead you astray
Only you and your true heart
can lead you on your way
Alice met many different foes as she traveled forward
We too must face our Jabberwocky's with our vorpal sword
Each person met is a lesson needed to be learned
Lest not forget the Mad Hatter's madness was something that he earned
The Queen of Hearts screams
'Off with their heads!"
Because she wants to rip
Her own to shreds.
These person's filled with insolence
have lost their hope and innocence
Patience and kindness may be hard to find
but their hatred isn't you, it's in their own mind
They became a part of the darkness as many often do
Be the beacon of light that helps them see whats true
The White Queen needs not
Raise her voice,
Between evil and good
There is no choice.
Be as the queen with a pure heart
Even as the world becomes more dark
You too will find home again
Just follow the path you find within
The rabbit may be
Running terribly late
But time will determine
Each player’s fate
