Kids

Sand castles we built 
To live in,
Sticks we cut off 
To frame shootouts 

Yawning, our trademark 
In both sun and moon,
Responsibility not but nought 
Worries, a million miles lost 

That Vile beast, Time 
Seperating us with the 
Stings of the dreadful society 
Defining our reality for us 

Sand castles we build no more 
Sticks we cut no more 
Yawnings, extremely streamlined 
Responsibilities, self inflicted crosses 

Turning days of bliss 
And nights of peace 
To periods of senselessness
Little wonder the creator says 
"Man's wisdom is foolishness"

"Time - defining our reality for us" - and "self-inflicted crosses" resounded in my head, making this a very wonderful poem in my book.
