I tried to take a new idea and turn it into a poem on seeing your comment, so lemme know what you think. It's rather question-mark happy, but hey, I asked a lot of questions.
How do I see the world?
Is it a different view
Than my neighbor?
Will the same event
Be viewed differently
With another's values?
What is the world
Like to a child?
Bright and full of
Opportunity and imagination?
Or is it closed and bitter
From the harshness of abuse?
Does true innocence see
Differently from actual childhood?
Or does childhood end
With the loss of innocence?
Is childhood a number?
Constantly being ticked down
Until it's lost forever?
Could it be more, Like a state of mind,
Or one of life's
Stepping stones into adulthood?
Will any of us remember
Our childhood when we
Are parents ourselves?
For children always wonder
If their parents have forgotten
What it's like to be a teenager
But is it just memory loss
Or a different set of eyes?

Wow, very nice. It still has the same feel of your recent poems, but the changes are really good from your recent writings! I love the wrap-up ending and, as I mentioned,:
Or does childhood end
With the loss of innocence?
My favorite part! Much better and a good controversial piece.
"Does childhood end
With the loss of innocence?"
Only if you let it.
