the childhood

            The childhood

when did my childhood go?


the childhood
Was it the day i ceased to be eleven.
Was it the time i realised that hell and heaven.
Could not be  found in geography.
And therefore could not be.
Was that the day.
 the childhood
When did my childhood go?
Was it the time i realised that adults were not
all they seemed to be. 
They talked of love and preached of love.
But did not act so lovingly.
Was that the day.
the childhood

When did my childhood go?
Was it when i found  my mind was really mine.
To use whichever way i choose.
Producing thoughts that were not those of other people.
But  my own, and mine alone.
Was that the day.
the childhood


Where  did my childhood go?
It wont to some forgotten place,
That's hidden in infant's face,
That's all i know.
