we are born innocent

we seem so real

we are good for our environment

the wind blows

we change

the clock moves

good enough

we will be good for our environment

the wind blows

we change

the clock moves

not good enough

we will be busy

the wind blows

the environment changes

but we were born innocent!

The clock moves

our child is born innocent

the wind blows

what happened to our environment?

It would be so nice if we could stay innocent, but life alters us as well as our environment. Beautiful and thoughtful words, Fred!

We don't stay innocent for too long.

In many ways we do stay innocent. We are so ignorant. We cannot control ourselves. We yield to temptation. We are so concerned with now and so little concerned with later. We are as babies in so many ways.

We are born. First we complain that we don't like being in the world and out of the womb. next we want food. then we mess up the environment. For about a year we eat and mess, eat and mess. We are helpless so the environment around us must change to take care of our needs.

What is so innocent about that?
