Innocence Retained

Innocence Retained

A Poem by paul sal.....

                                                     We're brought into this world
                                                      as a very young child and
                                                      no sooner do we breath
                                                      do we all start to cry.

                                                      Can it be possible
                                                      at this very dear age,
                                                      the book of life 
                                                      has just started and
                                                      we're on the first page?
                                                                 and    
                                                      Chapter after chapter
                                                      we're brought up with laughter
                                                      while playing with toy guns and
                                                      building our cage. 
                                                       
                                                      As we get older and
                                                      the bars have been hung,
                                                      we finally discover
                                                      that what we've all done
                                                      was to create a chasm
                                                      into which we all fall
                                                      and blame the the problem
                                                      on heaven and hell.

                                                      Don't you see that 
                                                      the Earth is just ours,
                                                      without any hold by 
                                                      external powers?
                                                       
                                                      We are the God 
                                                      and we are the Devil,
                                                      we are responsible for
                                                      the life sustaining level.              

                                                      So put down your guns
                                                      and stop all the wars,
                                                      look at one another
                                                      and open your doors...
                                                      open your hearts and
                                                      open your minds,
                                                      look at your neighbor
                                                      and try to be kind.

                                                      You'll be surprised to find
                                                      that after a while,
                                                      a child will be born
                                                      that's wearing a smile.
