INNOCENCE LOST

INNOCENCE LOST

.

.


Sometimes I ask myself


What would I think about a situation


If I were a skeptical, cynical person?


While innocence is important


Being naive puts innocence in peril


Of being taken advantage of, exploited


Being lost by painfully stripping away


Hope and joy


Innocence lost is never regained


So what innocence remains must be guarded


By the two guards Skepticism and Cynicism


Until I am sure the guards can relax


Their constant vigil.
