simplicity.

it's everywhere.

screaming out...

trying to be noticed.

"pay attention! 

you're making this so much harder than it has to be.

you're so corrupted! 

what happened to naivety?

the human race was so innocent it wasn't ashamed of nakedness at one point...

each sunrise and sunset was precious to you.

you woke up early just to hear the birds sing.

you didn't go to bed until you basked in the ambiance of creation...

clean creation.

nature smells sweeter than your ten thousand dollar bottle of perfume.

you used to love each other.

you weren't born with hatred on your heart.

you have to be carefully taught to hate.

i didn't teach you. certainly not.

you're so dirty.

you're covered in filth that the world doused you in.

why are you afraid to not be of the world?

what's wrong with nonconformists?

who told you that you were wrong?

you were quite the opposite...

it breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.

you were my baby...

i watched you grow.

nurtured you.

poured all of my love, passion, and energy into you.

cared for you.

i watched your wings grow.

then i let you go.

i saw you as you spread those wings for the first time.

and i saw them shoot you down into a bloody, disgusting, awful mess.

i cried and screamed.

i didn't know what to do.

i could hardly bear it.

i watched them capture you.

they took your wings away.

made you one of them.

so here i am...

watching monsters raise my daughter.

i'll get you back one day.

child, you will be beautiful again."
