"Innocence Lost"A Poem by krisThat lttile boy looks ahead and wonders what if?... That man looks back and wonders, how has it come to this?.. That little boy is innocent... That man is regretful... That little boy believes in magic... That man has seen the ugly truth... That little boy thinks the world of himself... That man knows what he is... That little boy has dreams... That man is just barely gettin by... That little boy knows what he believes... That man has to wonder... That little boy believes in love... That man knows better.. That little boy looks in that mans eyes and sees himself... That man looks in that little boy's eyes and sees himself... And in that moment 2 entirely opposite perspectives are met, and a sort of peace is made, one is coming up, one is going down, and balance is achieved. parents hug your kids tonight and let them be children, as long as they can, and encourage them, have we forgotten that our kids take themselves from us? Have we forgotten that, at some point dad was superman, and mom was everything that was right in this world, dont spoil it for them, they will find out soon enough the ugliness of this world, let them sleep in peace tonight...... © 2008 kris |
