Foolish me
When          I was young, my father was superman; I only realized the other day          he is just human and he cries too.
         When          I was young the tooth fairy was responsible for my dental formulae          arrangement, just disappointed to realize the other day babies grow          teeth.
         When          I was young, wetting my bed was as a result of a lovely dream, yet          now I know a disorder can be a cause.
         When          I was young, I knew of one angel but now, I have a pool of angels to          choose from.
         When          I was young, babies were bought from some hospital facility, yet now          I know intimacy and pleasure were the cause.
         When          I was young, love was cupid with a red heart and an arrow in there,          what a letdown I realize now lust is love too!!!
         When          I was you money bought the basics of life and life was not one of          the basics but now I know with money I can buy your life!!          
         When          I was young I dreamt of an equal, peaceful and a united world          populace but now I know when I wake up from the dream all will be          true.
