Innocence

Innocence

Is it worded as Rosebud on an old sleigh
Or is it a Swami running a tyre on the Malgudi clay
Is it a friend shouting at the top of his voice
Or A Child sucking on the stolen ice

Are these the unseen words between the lines
An obvious understanding of words on the sly
A stained leg and a tattered school tie
Or a Mock home with the first girl friend

Is it that I have lost sense of sense
Or is it that it is too simple to make sense
Do not know what you call it
I just call it plain innocence.

This is your best till date, nice theme selection, innocence always has a universal appeal to it, but one day i would like to enjoy a longer version of the ideas in your head.
