I wish I could see the world again,
through the eyes of a child.
It is the gods we build in men that crash the hardest,
and it is only after the fall that we learn
the demise of man was inevitable.
Right and wrong are terms of innocence,
easily defined by children.
I try to do right now, but it mostly settles
like a fog.
The best I can do
is to act
as I've taught my children to.
