Oh, my child.
Soon you will know the ways of the world.
You will know the ways that are cruel,
And the ways that are caring.
You will know the ways that are unfair,
And the ways that are just.
You will know the ways that are saddening, maddening, depressing,
And you will know the ways that are joyful, beautiful, hopeful.
And, my dearest young, you will find the ways that you can change it.
Change it, and make the world that of your own.
