Society Today

Innocence
Simple nine-letter word
That all of us lose
At one point or another.
Childhood is full of
Innocence
Until the eyes of the young
Can no longer be covered
The real world comes out to play
And the young are no longer
Innocent.
The young no longer have the shield
The hope of security
Has long since been lost
And all sense of normalcy
Is shattered
The innocent are no longer
Protected
The truth and reality of the world
Has prevailed and outshone.
The young are no longer
Innocent.
The innocent are no longer
Protected
And that’s what’s wrong
With society today.
