Innocence

(To the ones close to me who have strayed off the cobblestone road. Nothing is impossible)


As time goes by, as the years fly past.
We find ourselves being exposed to more and more of the world.
Such a huge wonderful playground harboring many happy memories to be.
However, behind every smile is a sinister dark side.
People live avoiding and ignoring the dark and nasty side of our world.
Poverty, starvation, homicide, suicide, gang wars and the rich and famous we regard almost as gods.
It's understandable that parents try their very hardest to shield their children from many of the brutal circumstances of life. However, many of us find ourselves wandering down a dark and misty road not knowing where we'll wash up.
Soon as we hit adolescence and we try to break free of our parent's watchful eyes as often as possible. We find that one wrong move could lead us to jail sentences, drug addiction and even death.
We soon realize how much we miss the life we had as children, oblivious to the dark side of the world.
I wish, hope and pray that the world will one day become a better place.
Children will find a safe haven where they can grow up and be able to abolish unnecessary deaths and ill fates in the near future.
I wish, pray and hope for peace, love and charity.
And I can only hope for a better place.
