Still Naive
Naive
I wish to remain this way
I want my eyes to see everything
and STILL be able to cry
I continue to believe we are a world
not a nation
we are not colors or cultures
just us, men and women
When my son was a child
colors were something he put to paper
I won't give up, though, I started to
when I didn't say anything
I betrayed you
Mother, I let you down
But I will take up my arms
I will defend you
My arms will hold you dear
I see so clearly thru your tears
