The Definition of Innocence Part 2

(continued from part 1) What is innocence that little boy whose pulling his toy with it’s broken wheel Do you think he doesn’t know that the price of that crack needle Could buy him a meal? Do you think he doesn’t, know that that beer bottle Is why he bares the bruises on his skin Is it why he has to force himself to grin? Is that little girl sitting with her perfectly coifed dolls Singing to herself so she doesn’t hear the screams Doesn’t she scream in terror as her father bursts into her dreams. And shoves her mom crashing into her little table. Does she have to dream, to live her fable And even then, is she able? Do you wonder what she is thinking as she struggles to push the head back on her doll or is it a way for her to merely, ignore it all Are you watching with 20 million other viewers A drone in your living room, a slave to a box A fly in a web of airwaves Do you think your government is doing the same Or are they filling up Graves is there an agenda being played as our minds are swayed Is this distraction as innocent as it seems? And that epidemic….An epidemic of having too much food Begging someone please! stop us from eating I cant see, my knees like it’s the bubonic plague like we’re dropping like flies An epidemic! Could we build a memorial and carve on its stone 5 million died this year from an this epidemic alone we could… if we replaced obesity with starvation Is it ironic that the fat kids stomach looks just as big as the starving ones. What is innocence Is a boy who just wants to spend time with his grandpa He doesn’t understand As his grandpa takes him by the, hand And leads into the bathroom To show him the darker side of man That in that moment he’ll have to grow up Faster then he planned Faster then he can What is innocence Does it exist in this land From the time were born We stripped down, bought and torn From violence to **** We’re watched and mimicked Our lives just a gimmick To get in our little kids heads Where innocence treads To take away their bliss The only thing that they were born, with What is innocence Does it exist anymore Or in this day and age Have we closed that door Forever more?
