Loss of Innocence

When do we stop trying
When do we start accepting

When do we stop finding newer things to do
When do we become slaves to routine

When do we stop accepting things at face value
When do we start doubting intentions

When do we stop seeing things for what they are
When does our vision get blurred by prejudices

When do things cease to be black and white
When do we start justifying the greys

When do we stop being objective
When do wonderful things start becoming objects

When do we stop admiring beauty
When does attraction turn to lust

When do we stop being sincere
When does hypocrisy set in

When do we stop constructing
When do we start deconstructing

When do we lose our innocence
When oh when does a child become a person
