Only Children Dream

Michael A. McGuire

Dreams are for children who have yet to face the dawn, for fear it might blind them with its truth, then their dreams...would be gone!

True peace when shielded from the World's evil by ignorance and age, but once an adult, no one can save you from Life's corrupting and greedy rage!

Innocence is shattered!  Youth's mirror fragments fall.

Tiny splinters marking each moment
of happiness fade till there is nothing but truth and pain left. 

Hardly worth going on now.

If you can't hurdle the many obstacles set before you by adulthood, you're bound to fall!

A smile is now a sign of deceit and excuses, plain immaturity! You should know better by now young lad, or should I say man? 

That's right child in an adult's body; you should have taken your dreams and RAN!
