When I was a kid…

a poem by Niveidya

When I was a kid, I was taught to be nice to all.
When I was a kid, I was taught the world would do no harm.
When I was a kid, I was taught that God owns us all.
When I was a kid, I was taught that dreams come true.
When I was a kid, I was taught friends are always there for me.
When I was a kid, I was taught tomorrow would bring a better light.
When I was a kid, I was taught that death is an undisturbed sleep.
When I was a kid, I was taught that love has sweet rewards.
When I was a kid, I was taught to resist temptation.
When I was a kid, I was taught all this and more.
When I was a kid, I was taught wrong!
