I Was A Child Of The Times Poem by Sari Mavi

I was a child of the times
A truly cosmopolitan
My true happiness is the
Dependence on luxuries

I also pay attention to the
Friendship that is
Based on profits
Is there anything wrong?

I was a child of the times
With knowledge grasped in the hand
But I cannot create peace for
Myself and the universe, as well
Then - who is wrong? (I have no idea!)

I was a child of the times -
Which it cannot be transformed
Into an angel
Because I have a sense, lust,
And deception
