Innocent Eyes


 

 I have innocent eyes?

“No one is that innocent!”   You fool!

You partied through school,

You thought you were so wise.

 

Where did that get you now?

To whom do you bow?

The choices we make

Can they really be that fake?

 

I have a goal to make something of my life

Do you have a wife?

The choices we make

Can they really be that fake?

 

Yes, I have innocent eyes.

I AM that innocent, you fool!

You partied through school

YOU were the fool – YOU are not wise!

 

The choices we make,

You really are that fake!

To what did you bow?

It got you where you are now!

 

Yes, I have innocent eyes!

That’s because I am innocent!

I am proud to be!

To everyone – I say, “I AM WISE!”
