Innocence Lost

Eyes of innocence, so young and pure,

Blinded by hands that were meant to protect.

Innocence Lost, in blindness now groping;

Rage at injustice demands its release.

Blindly it lashes, felling its victim;

Pain born of pleasure begins to devour.

Innocence Lost, has now innocence taken;

Cycle of sorrow begins yet again.

We who would help them must give them new eyes,

To regain their focus on that which is True.

Deception is bondage that clings to the soul;

But He who is Truth has the power to free.
