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.
