The Raping of Innocence

Beauty like love is curdled by lust.

Integrity and honesty, destroyed by failure.

Faith and trust, seduced by temptation.

Our innocence has been raped by our desires.

We are what we are regardless of civilization,

We are animals of instinct with the capacity of choice.

Driven by society, hate, anger, lust, desire, fear, greed and
emptiness.

The only reason we float after we drown,

Is because our egos are still inflated.
