Who is the kid behind the tree?
Is he hiding from the world,
Away from the taunts and insults,
To shield from barbs and thorns–
Like the child in the bubble–
Free from contaminants
That hurt the smooth existence
Of a sweet childhood?
Is he hiding from the world
Because the world overwhelms him,
Expecting too much
From his little self,
To think like an adult,
Always to be good,
Not to be an idiot,
To be the wisest of all,
To be the smartest of all,
And never to make mistakes?
Where is his carefree childhood
Full of sweet and guileless memories?

Unfortunately, I remember a kid hiding behind a tree who was waiting for me to pass and then spit!He was not hiding from insults and taunts, but ready to inflict his own!Liz
This was Solomon upset with the world.
Well perhaps the boy who spat at me was upset at the world as well!Liz
Ooh! Not very nice.
