Uncontaminated

Such is this world we live in innocence is removed so young such a sad thing to see in our day this wouldn't be among Among us of few generations past uncontaminated would be our state our innocence kept intact to stay at least till our teenage date But today innocence is gone so early it's never to return not again seen youngsters know so much at young age it seems already they have been At times you want to turn clock back at a time uncontaminated by this age when things were simple and contented then your life journey is at it's first page But alas this can't be done as the world moves so fast we're caught up in its trap indeed our die is cast (''For he hears the lamb's innocent call And he hears the ewe's tender reply'') WILLIAM BLAKE

I guess the internet is to blame for a lot of lost innocence. I know that children as young as 4 and 5 have their own tablets and can access the internet. The world is on show now with all its delights but also all of its foibles. Your poem raises an interesting point Gordon. Well written, easily read food for thought. Thanks.

Hi Jennifer, I'm Glad you're getting stronger, and congrats on your new Kindle book, I have just bought it on amazon.UK so look forward to reading when away in the Scottish Highlands leaving tomorrow for a week. I see it was published in July 2021 so it says on the amazon website. Hugs and blessings, Gordon
