This Innocence

is not immortal

never perfect

wasn't meant to be

either

for that is

human estimates

yet they played a prank

hurt me

behind me

in front

daggers are so omnipresent

they think I'm retarded

and dumb

and talkative

and dumb

and childish

and dumb

and dumb

and dumb

they whisper and point

from a throne of free rights and humanity

of perfection

of chastities

of knowledge

of feelings

of all that is holy

they know me so well

they think I shouldn't be here

for I'm dumb

that's a fact

I'm dumb

that's treason

I'm dumb

that's a good logical reason
I'm dumb

they ordained it

that's law

so I must be encaged

fed some kicks and jeers

for
I'm dumb

it makes perfect sense

it's so innocent

I'm dumb
I'm dumb

I'm dumb
