Innocence

One who is new is innocent

Knowing nothing is innocence

One who knows much is knowledgeable

But where goes his innocence

A child is curious and innocent

Learning tricks yet innocent

It is his age which is innocent

Years wear away the gift of innocence

Worldly wise are of two types

Ones who shed their innocence

And others who in wisdom remain  innocent

Untouched by ego and crookedness

God made us simple and innocent

As a child is pure and innocent

It is we who go astray as we march

And seek everything but innocence

The world is full of complexity and selfishness

Everything for grabs  and to share emptiness

Depression, sadness and much unhappiness

Where is hope , innocence , promise  and brightness

Simplicity and innocence shall stage a comeback

The way the world has gone has proved fruitless

It is imperative that we go back to our roots and flourish

For there we shall find only purity, innocence and exuberance!
