A simple mind

How many mistakes can one make while living amongst chaos?
How much freedom does one hold without chaos?
How many freedoms were repealed to build a world of progress?
How many dark spots were built to crush the opposition? 
How many pieces must be found before a picture forms?
How many blind spots must be unveiled before one can see?
How many harsh words can be washed away with simple apologies?
How many pleasures go unseen until you lose them?
How many shadows must one cast to build an accurate perception?
How many leaves must fall before one can see the branches? 
How many moons cross the path before it's beauty is seen? 
How many Suns will come to rest on the breast of innocence?
How many bonds must be remade before the worst is pleasant? 
How many tinker toys lay in toy graveyards?
How many achievements had to be won to build the first precision?
How many beauties were never seen because ugly stings?
How many carry a weapon? 
How many bombs can be dropped while claiming peaceful means?
How many bones must be broke before one knows suffering? 
How many great people does it take to make grateful people? 
How many trees from all our folds will be grown to take our place? 
How many beasts were built to protect the small?
How many times did some forget to live while planning out the future? 
How long would a future be without incremental planning? 
How much innocence does one hold while climbing out of ignorance? 

To friends and enemies,
I pray for common ground between you!
