ONCE HELD BUT NOW WHO IS HOLDING

mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)



Who holds you now that you are no longer a child, where did your parents go did you learn from them everything you should know, is the world your teacher now being the knowledge you seek is not the language school books speak?


Dreams used to be my blanket and the world used to be my playground every day a new adventure until I found out the rules they play by everyman for themselves they don't lend a helping hand.

Once held but now who is holding us being boot camp is over? and some of us did not turn out to be good little soldiers and want to start a revolution
