Innocence is pictured differently through many eyes, <br />Blinded by the sheer beauty of it. <br />Picture perfect Mona Lisa, <br />Hard to believe in such innocence. <br />Innocence can be found in a virgin, <br />Until the devil cracks his whip with lust and dirty pleasure, <br />That will be flushed away. <br />Can innocence be found in me? <br />After all the crimes I’ve committed? <br />Fallen for my guilty pleasure, <br />I’ve lies that I’m going to take to the grave. <br />I have racial views that I’m not proud of. <br />Innocence that is taken by sexuality, <br />My love for men cast a shadow over me by many eyes. <br />Is innocence lost from the day we leave the womb, <br />Innocence is the eye of the beholder.<br /><br />Joseph Tanner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocence-2/
