The Wonderland

by Nick Gisburne



The Wonderland is more than just a hole
A tunnel, sealed with secrets, spells, and skin
But enter, if you dare. Commit your soul
And let the pain, your punishment, begin
The legions, clever insects, built this hive
A fortress, an impenetrable place
For aeons, as they kept the queen alive
No stranger ever looked upon her face
But you, who cannot fathom what you seek
Believe she waits in Wonderland, somehow
You violate a sacred space, to speak
With one your myths, your legends, disavow
    Perhaps, beneath the surface, you may learn
    That those who find the truth do not return
