We’re all innocent, yes we are
The soldier shooting at the innocent in fright
The woman riding in the back of a police car
The rapist that got his heart filled with envy, with filth
The heartless tycoons who built weapons to feed their greed
The little girl raped and left on the sidewalk
The children who play in the pool to cool off from the heat
We are innocent, you and I
And have you ever wondered why
The unreflecting eye
Looks deliberately away from the sky?
What is wrong with the unflinching eye
That stares out protrusively as its beholder tells a putrid lie?
While the bewildered eyesearhes, asks, and wonders why
When did we lose the courage to cry?
And is this the reason why
We don’t see the birds that used to fly high up in the sky?
Is this why we no longer hear the nightingale’s soothing cry
Think of the joy that we can harvest
Look at the immense love that can be reaped
If we only plant the seeds, you and I
We are all innocent regardles of what we’ve done, or thought
And this is the thought or intuition that is going through my mind
So I thought I should write it down
Before it faded flickering into the midnight sky
