The first lines comment on how the smallest things can make the innocent question themselves and thus lose their innocence.
This loss of innocence results in the realisation that one day, everything around him will be gone, and as such, in the LONG term, nothing matters. However, he tries to hold onto his memories.
Eventually, he can't hold on anymore and in a last attempt to create purpose for himself, "prays to the setting sun". The sun can't save him. Nothing can. However...
He DID have a purpose when he was innocent, as he was given love when he was born, and he used to feel genorosity from others. Therefore, it's his own fault he has no purpose.
I have to admit the line "it is the proof of sadness, caused by absolute justice" is beyond me.
All people lose innocence as little things will constantly cause innocence to be lost.
i think the "proof of sadness caused by absolute justice" can be rephrased as "the physical (or something tangible) manifestation of the grief/guilt that the technical aspects and absolute rules with no regard for ethics had created. so it would be like, he had his purpose stolen away as he was punished for something that he couldn't have gotten out of any other way. he believes he deserves the punishment, or he takes the blame for it and that "no one can save [him]" from the punishment he inflicted upon himself. i guess the punishment part is the tangible manifestation...

That's what I think. Thanks.
