MsTempestRaven -> Whatever Happened? (Childhood Innocence) (7/24/2005 11:58:54 AM)

Whatever happened to childhood innocence The happiness that comes from the bliss of ignorance The evils of the world unable to be seen Invisible to the untainted mind of the young A virginal intellect unable to percieve The rampant corruption of the human souls Or the greed that fuels it People hungry for power and social status Eagerly willing to discard their beliefs and morals For a high enough price and fancy enough toys Whatever happened to a childs' light heart Not weighted with lust and lies Delighted with the simplicity of a sunset Or running through the sprinklers Left in awe staring at the stars Not yet bewildered by the complexities of life Or hindered by the inescapable responsibilities Not required to work for money or necessities All needs attended to without question Whatever happened to a childs' zest for life Anticipation of another day Fades into oblivion As death consumes a mind void of naivete Knives become toys Blood becomes bliss Lacerations invade wrists A beating heart slows to a whisper And another child dies Whatever happened?
