    The Innocence and the Darkness


    I've been living in a world of insensitive people
    pretending to be something they're not..
    How do they know where the sensitive are
    to destroy an innocent, yet broken heart..
    Around the uncaring is a halo of hate
    for the tears of the sensitive one..
    How do they know the damage they do
    when some damage has already been done..
    I've been living in a world where evil lives
    among the innocence of our young..
    How can they take a child's sweet laughter away
    when their songs have yet to be sung..
    Within the air an echo is heard..of the cries of
    all who are lost..
    The darkness protects the insenitive one
    where evil and hate cares not..
    I can't find my way when the darkness is near
    and pretend that I'm not frightened..
    For the terror that must be in the eyes of the child
    when the insensitive one takes flight.
    I long to live in a world of love
    where all the children are free..
    From the fear of darkness...the insensitive one...
    Where their innocence should be..

    thank you katrinaLeAnn for reading this poem and for appreciating its meaning. the children of our world should be free to be children without fear...we're only children once.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
