[bodytext] => Inching slowly towards reality,
Releasing from the arms of a dream, Escape from fantasy, Ebbing away into the haze of truth, Where truth is the norm, And to lie is the truth, A broken cocoon hangs form a branch, A sanctuary left to be abused, Tattered under the violent sun, They call it growth; The coming of age, Soon you’re a wise man, A valuable sage, And your chance of survival; In an overdeveloped genetic laboratory, Is to forget the softness of childhood, The wisdom of innocence, The charming insouciance, Just keep descending into a cave of age, A black hole of time swallows you, You are a wise man…but empty handed, Only a few harsh realities remain, Mischief…gone, Impulse…dead, Paradise…amidst a childhood reverie…lost.
