The Irony of Innocence


So precious was
My innocence
My sense of wonder
Sense of awe
Yet traded
For experience
This precious gift
Is now no more
This wordly wisdom
Bought so dear
So often both
With grief and tear
And now, in order
To seem strong
I detach self
It was so long
Ago, when then naïve
Before those gifts
Did I receive.
Gifts like the
Poisoned cynic’s eye
That sneers at those
Who ask, “How? Why?”
Unknowingly
What a poor trade
Those years ago
My young self made.
The irony is felt
with remorse –
It was with innocence
Of course!

 How true and put so cleverly.

I watch my grandchildren grow....who range in age from 16 down to 3 and it seems to me that the wondrous wide eyed innocence is lost earlier and earlier with each child. Sad.

I couldn't agree more. And the commercial exploitation of children's taste makes me both sad and angry, because cynical adults are making fortunes by stealing children's innocence.
