<p class="has-text-align-center">The wisdoms of children, how the adults can’t, EVER get it back, everything that’s been lost, long, long, long, ago, translated…</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>It is not Gender-Specified Yet</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Gender Bares, No Meaning to It</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Can’t Pretend to be Shy</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Or to be Brave Either Yet</em></p>

<p><em>Not Yet Driven by the Weird Temptations</em></p>

<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>No Plans, Only Actions</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Along that Straight Line, No Twists Nor Turns</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Exposed Completely, in the Dangers of the Daytime</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Making Those Living in the Nights, Jealous</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center">And so, this, is how brave we were all once, as young children, but as we grow older, there are, more and more things that we’d, learned to fear, and that prevented us, from living our lives, in their, fullest, extents, if we can only keep our minds young like children, then, the world would be, a much better place to live in…</p>
