Innocence



They say, "No tolerance for innocence,"

No desire for naïve

They eat at her flushed flesh like maggots,

consume her mind with their wicked whispers.



Then, innocence turns to hatred and fear

Innocence gone, but they still come near



In the eyes, where a clear oceanic blue once brewed

has now become the Niagara Falls

Tears telling torrid truths

She couldn't face-

Like the glowering image in the mirror

Her reflection was clearer

Pretty Girls rock, stare at her and titter



Of human ignorance she is almost in despair,

For racism is around her everywhere

But like they say sheer ignorance is bliss

Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss



She thought,

"I don't want to repeat my innocence.

I just want the pleasure of losing it again

because, all things truly start from that innocence."
