No hope is there for the human race,
People fighting endless wars,
Through no reason , to settle scores,

Crime is on the increase,
Drugs abuse is a problem now,
How do we protect our children,
For I fear we don't know how,

Well look at life through a childs eyes,
Through there innocence they will cope,,
They don't see this world as dangerous,
But a place thats full of hope,

They don't look at the colour of skin,
When with friends they want to play,
They don't comment on religion,
Or which way that you should pray,

They are happy to play with anyone,
They just want to be friends,
Innocence is wonderful I think,
It has no need to make amends,

So if we teach them well enough,
Maybe they will interact,
And come to some agreement ,
Maybe one day make it fact,

That this world with all its greed and hate,
Its bloody battles,wars and lies,
Could improve so dramatically,
If we looked through a childs eyes.

Sue, this was perfect! I couldn't have said it
better myself. A wonderful thought and you
utilized your words so well.

If only . . .

Children are wonderful as they have a special innocence and naivety and they often see things as they should be, not always as they really are.
I wish that this innocence would last forever but once we begin to understand how this world really is, we seem to lose that youthful perception, and just become another boring, self-serving 'adult'.

An eye opening write.

I absolutely love this poem! I have often thought or wished that we could hang onto the innocence of a child's mind. If we as adults, could do that, then this would be a much better world. You have done an awesome thing here and again, I love this poem. Brilliant thoughts.

Thank you very much for sharing it!
