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
