Neverland's Enemy
You have all heard the stories
Of Peter Pan and his Lost Boys
Not knowing,
How sinister the truth really is.
How I, Captain Hook,
Try to desperately save those Lost Boys
From the clutches of
Peter Pan.
Day after day I watch Pan
Whispering into the the Lost Boys’ ears
Slander; he sullies my good name,
Tarnishes my reputation.
They believe his every word.
Easily swayed,
Into Pan’s evil methods
Brainwashed, tricked; they worship him.
Glorifying the boy who ripped them
from their parents.
Forgetting that they were once loved;
Trapped in an evil spell.
The demonic fairy hisses into
Pan’s ears
Telling Pan his next move,
The mastermind of the operation.
My bumbling crew is no good;
I have to go about it alone.
When Pan chopped off my hand,
All anyone did was laugh.
Once I was a successful captain
With a competent crew.
Alas, they were all killed by Pan and his boys.
No one tells you that story, do they?
Do not trust Pan,
Do not trust his Lost Boys,
They promise nothing
But an inescapable, dark future.
Spread my story,
In hopes that people will realize,
That everything is not
What it seems in this land.
I’m here to protect you,
To warn you of the dangers,
Of the monster within the magic;
Of the real enemy of Neverland.
