The Innocent Ones

The Innocent Ones

They can do no wrong,
born in this era.
They are the innocent ones,
your child, mine.

They are here,
their future is born.
We supplied the ladder.
The world, they'll make better.

Take it step by step-
raise their minds to
lessen their quick actions.

They are born,
many from wedlock,
many have only one.
This is their future.
The innocent ones.
