Innocent

If I told you I was innocent
Would you believe me?
I have the eyes of a child
but to me they feel old
Because at the time
I was only 15 years old
They tell I have time
To live and let live
To live and forget
But not until there's meaning
To "serve and protect"
This wasn't an oxymoron
Derived from tyrannical hands
Like "democratic freedom"
And "dominion over land"
Because where we stand
The grass is greener
And so are the pockets
Of the pimp
Which feeds her life through a tube
That's not a condom
Because she gets paid more that way
More of a rush
A connection with love
That isn't love
Because your income
Comes from a cock
Without a glove
Because the teachers
Are too shy
To save our lives
From this intertwined messed
Stitched together with divine twine
Which makes them feel that their life
Is worth more than mine
So if I told you I was innocent
What would you say?
Would you pawn me off
As another lost cause
Because I spoke
Before that first toke
Of Mary Jane...
How beautiful she was
In that corrupted green dress
Which is her Sunday best
Because she's got constant spins
From rolling between fingers
And pursed lips
Which drip
About last nights acid trip
Which sent her away forever...
How beautiful she was
As they wrapped her in satin
Placed her on a bed of roses
Then sent her off
To the tune of no song
Because none were good enough
To express the words of us all
As a collective unit
But if they had to play it
I'd tune it out
Because one wrong word
And I have no doubt
That I'd lose it
So if I told you I was innocent
Would you see what I see?
I've seen the world over
Fight over
World order
And everything in between
Because less is more
when you make us sweat corruption
out of every pore
So watch it
Because I'm young enough
To weave your linens
From gun cotton
So you burn up
Re-entering the atmosphere
Of anything
Except for dreams
Because if we get caught up on these
We'll all fall
So what would you do, if I told you I was innocent?
Do you always believe what your told?
