What you wouldn't notice with your open mind is that your wrists are bleeding and your tongue is tight.
Do you remember we were all the only infants,
and we would stand them back to back against the elements?
But you grew strong and left us there to join the big game, where you learned lies that made the hurts of old seem so tame.
Back in those days we had respect for all the innocence and we never dreamed of drowning in all the selfish decadence.
But you had a change of heart that robbed you of your compassion and left you choices that controlled your every action.
