Simplicity

Clarity is lost when good escapes an easy definition, and bad is not predictably a cowboy dressed in black. Complexity confounds, from losing innocence to courting possibilities, from childhood's casual cakewalk to the forced march of responsibilities, the blurring of all boundaries, the complications of a simple yes or no. Simplicity has yes written all over it.

The first thing that struck me was the repetition of using the letter C in this. I believe we try to do that in good poetry. Also the cakewalk then responsibilities hit me in the eye; love those lines that create tension. More than enough of a super write Keith!
