[hometext] => I hope this one strikes a chord
[bodytext] => There was a time when all that was gold could glitter, when the gems sparkled, and silver shone. There was a time when the worl was filled with wonder, and bathed in light.
then the innocece of childhood faded. The gold was shown to be gilded paint, the gems were colored, cut glass. The silver became nothing more than chrome plate. The veils parted, showing all the mystery to be nothing more than illusion.smoke and mirrors. Light faded into shadows, and shades of grey. wonder was stolen away by the "miracles"of science. Innocence was wiped away by the harsh realities of the world. The age of innocence is gone. replaced by fear, hate,ignorance and apathy. replaced by the real world. Why has it come to this? I ask this question expecting no answer, hoping that no one will give me an answer, for fear that the burden of such knowledge would break me. Because I know that there is nothing I can do to change the truth of the world. I long for the age of innocence to come again, but I know, that for me, those days will never come again. I ask again expecting no answer, hoping for no answer. Why has it come to this? Where has the age of innocence gone?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
