The Most Un-Needy Guy Of Them All, In a World Full Of Needs


For a person to grow up,

Innocence Is lost. 

An uncontested truth amoung us all.

In the dark there come desires of flesh,

And whos to say they're wrong?

Flesh was God given,

But abused by evil for lust. 

Then why grow up?

Why lose the happiness of innocence? 

What was it that we truly wanted as children?

Desires of toys, games, food, sleep, to run, to play.

Why did those desires become wrong?

The world was given to us by God.

Do not let it be corrupted by evil.

Embrace the child nature, 

In a larger body.
