&quot;All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.&quot;<br /> -Pablo Picasso


What was once so sweet and innocent
Now rots and has come to mourn
How fools we were
To mistake what was supposed to be a placid cloud
Was really a hell storm
One, two, three, transformation finished
What you developed in your own hands
Is now someone else’s business
Wash away the rosy cheeks
Because it has ate your flesh with acid bleach
It’s now been taken over with absolute corruption
Purity is wiped off clean
Leaving no other assumption
Watch carefully as it comes to mold
Eating away your emotions
Leaving your heart cold
You sit there, waiting, with little hope
But it’s now time, where you learn to cope
It takes away, intelligence, humbleness, courage, and pride
We have come to the funeral
To announce Innocence has died.
