Playing With Minds

remember
when childhood held dreams

remember 
when friends where real

remember
Anne Frank, child betrayed

remember
when poetry spoke of the heart

remember
when the psycho penetrated with dart

remember
those who tell tales true

remember
	the kiss of love? or
		the kiss of deceit

remember
	evil hides in rainbows
		goodness dances with lightning

I will remember hearts of kindness
	not the man spreading blindness
		remember

yearn for happier times
	not July, only youths summertime
		illusions that once made us happy

Now devour our minds

An expressive image of "the betrayed child"! an impressive poem evoking heartfelt memories : Humanity of evil smell.. Time changes taste and colour! and our hearts and minds are the victims! A wonderful profound write Arthur. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed reading. Be blessed.
