I was a child
I was joyful
I was good-natured
And
I was guiltless.
Today,
I am a man
I am in charge.
Therefore,
I am corrupt.
I am in sorrow--I am weeping
I am a Man.
I am--your worldly creation,
not my mother’s son any longer.
Tomorrow,
I will be a veteran of injustice
I will be an old hand resting on domination.
If only I can revisit yesterday
When I was a child.
"A child"
