Innocence Lost For Contest

Innocence Lost (for contest) He’s just a child with another toy But he does know it can destroy His childhood spurned with a hideous theme To create death and lose the dream of growing up and making friends to make mistakes but have amends Will the zealots of hate ever sway they were children once who loved and played Human Rights Violations (picture no. 2) August 29, 2015

longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!

So well written! The children of our world grow up as pawns of evil men; one wonders how early childhood ended for them or if they ever even had one. Congratulations.

The way of the world has changed since my own childhood. I am sad for what our children, and their children, don't even know they have lost. Well written thoughts, Ralph.....congratulations on this splendid poem.

Hi Andrea: I guess we were on the same page poetically but you thought of the AK 47 a toy before I did.
