We Were All Born Innocent

We are all born innocent
We are all created with ease
God has great plans for us
Yet we see nothing but greed

The hatred we carry
For those around
Will never help us grow
It will only tare us down

We are all born innocent
Why do we let things turn ugly
We have choices to make
We are all in a hurry

No matter what choice we make
God will still take us in
As long as we make it ok with him
And continue on home

Great write. I like your ideas, many of which i ponder while i am on my own. While we are younge we are innocent, and its such a great thing, but one does wonder, what changes that all? ~Jese
