Innocence Has Saturated To Greed

When we were babes all we needed was a smile Along with a hug that would last us a while A mother’s aroma coming toward us with a kiss It’s those moments in time that we live in bliss Our dads making funny sounds and faces With words of wisdom taking us many places Such sweet memories of our innocence But in time we build our world of wickedness That smile has become our vanity Slashing and mutilating what we used to be That hug has become our materialistic treasure Gold and silver have become our pleasure That kiss has become our gluttony and lust Satisfying appetites for our devilish disgust Words of wisdom have become words of lies Constructing deception of buildings shall rise Why can’t we live our days like a child Like floating memories we had when we smiled Today we take what we want not what we need For our innocence has saturated to greed.
