Innocence arrived on a late train <br />Carrying a cargo filled with pain <br /> <br />Defiance got off at the last stop <br />Leaving growing memories to rot <br /> <br />Deliverance is at the diner car door <br />Foolishly thinking it could get more <br /> <br />Ego has excessive baggage to unload <br />When it punched its ticket down the road <br /> <br />Rebellion is riding first class <br />Ready to kick any pain in the ass <br /> <br />Hope has settled in the back of the caboose <br />With the fear of never getting loose <br /> <br />So have we let innocence ride too far <br />With the substance of an empty storage car <br /> <br />But what is even so bizarre <br />Innocence should be our shining star<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocence-s-arrival/
