Adorable minds, through time and space

Beings disguised, and many disgraced

Caught up in lies, pretending to care

Distracted confusion,

Elements of despair

Fearful hope, without much intent

Gears all extending,

Healing hearts lament

Innocence is lost, with effortless admission

Juggernauts of destruction

Kinetic dreaming and devotion

Lines being crossed, without much movement

Millions in hunger, no signs of improvement

Nostalgic aspirations, misguided dreaming

Order and structure, intentions deceiving

Playful expressions, bouts of withdraw

Quiet responses, ignoring the calls

Redundant realism,

Stagnant relations,

Truant reactions, artificial sensations

Unrealized consequences, dilemmas vibrant

Vivacious intentions,

While strikingly stagnant

Xeroxed feelings, partaking the future

Youthful beginnings

Zealous paths to maturity
