The Age of Innocence

by Rowena Linley   Feb 27, 2011


Evil in our midst
Anger, hurt and pain
Ourselves and our children
We cannot protect
From the growing evil in our midst

In our thoughts
We cannot be compromising no more
Our heart filled with anger
This is a new lost cause
No more sympathizing
Patience has been lost
Once and for all
For a world full of evil

With the Goverment and their lies
See the white of their eyes
Deceit and shame they do bring
Upon the working man
The blame has laid to rest
The working man pays for the lies, deceit and shame of the government

The age of innocence is fading fast
Like our history our past

The working man gives up everything for his country
Even his life if it comes to war

We live in a life of petty crime
The criminals never doing proper time

They laugh in the face of justice
What a disgrace
To laugh in the innocents face

Who are we
With evil amongst our midst
We cannot warn each other
We cannot protect our loved ones

The age of innocence is fading fast
Like our history our past

    Maybe try this. The changes are within.

    "Evil in our midst, anger,
    hurt and pain
    We cannot protect
    Ourselves, our children
    From the growing evil in our midst

    In our thoughts
    We cannot compromise anymore
    Our heart fill with anger
    This is a now lost cause
    No more sympathizing
    Patience has been lost
    Once and for all
    For this world full of evil

    With the Government and their lies
    See the white of their eyes
    Deceit and shame, they do bring
    Upon the working man
    The blame has laid to rest
    The working man pays for the lies,
    deceit and shame of the government

    The age of innocence is fading fast
    Like our history our past

    The working man gives up everything for his country
    Even his life when war comes

    We live in a life of petty crime
    The criminals never doing their proper time

    They laugh in the face of justice
    What a disgrace
    To laugh in the face of the innocent

    Who are we
    With evil amongst our midst
    We cannot warn each other
    We cannot protect our loved ones

    The age of innocence is fading fast
    Like our history our past."

    Good poem. It was nicely worded and I could tell it was on a subject you feel deeply about. The flow was off though. But other then that I see nothing else that needs fixing.

    gave it a 5/5
