Simply Senryu: Childhood is over
Men judge other men
Not by their motivations
But by their actions
Who writes history
It's written by survivors
No one else is left
In a person's life
What can be worse than old age
The alternative
A man becomes old
When his past regrets start to
Take the place of dreams
Hypocrisy is
In its way a pillar of
Civilization
Childhood is over
When a door that's left ajar
Lets the future in
