Growing Up

silhouettes in my mind
haunting desires
of journeys to come
the roads now paved
no longer a dusty path
looking toward the light
that once seemed faded
dwelt in darkness
memories of youth
we laughed and played
cried within
as night approached
anticipated the morrow
the light of day
another charade
fearful of GOD and sin
the guilts passed down
though all generations
as if they never played
cowboys and Indians
who were the victims
the victors
how many bodies
innocent fun or pure hatred
bullets for the redman
arrows for the forked tongue
Monday through Saturday
we played
Sunday we begged for forgiveness
the lessons we learn
silhouettes in my mind
how long does childhood last....

If I told you my imagination, you'd
say I've lost touch with reality" -Bob Shank Jan. 2nd-2005

And either way, you would still grin and say, "so be it, believe what you will, lmao"

I believe our inner children are the only true hold to humanity we have. I do mourn for those adults who cannot comprehend the insights.

Wow, great piece.
I guess childhood ends when you recognize the silhouettes.
