Sin of Innocence
The world is not a virtuous place, I have come to know
Its residents did not treat me well, I couldn’t figure out why.
Seven years I lived there, I didn’t have any foes,
Still I had to be dumped into debris, I couldn’t figure out why.
I never fought with anyone, to everyone I was nice,
Still I had to face monstrous things, I couldn’t figure out why.
I went out, only to play, my motive clear and innocent
But still they did despicable things, I couldn’t figure out why.
I bawled and begged for mercy, I tried hard to escape
But the beast ignored and crept even closer, I couldn’t figure out why.
I shook my hands violently but probably, they were too small,
I prayed but the pain still increased every moment, I couldn’t figure out why.
I let out deafening screams, his clumsy hands covering my mouth
Happier and fiercer, he got as I did so, I couldn’t figure out why.
I called out to God for help, I called everyone, Mom and Dad
But everyone seemed deaf to my shrieks, I couldn’t figure out why.
Now when I am in Heaven, now when I am disenthralled,
The same heedless world is calling my name, I can not figure out why.
At the time I needed them to be there, no one paid attention
Now everyone seems concerned about me, I can not figure out why.
