For 1 : For Innocence

Beginning the 'For' Series.
================================================
For Innocence

Let us all strive for innocence today.

Let's show the world our best puppy-dog eyes

And flash our pearl-toothed ingratiation.

Let our tongues rival the finest silver,

Let servile flattery be our clothing

And hypocrisy our adornment;

Let our self-love and egotism, garbed

Covertly in gold and silk, be disguised

In the humble livery of service.

Let's win hearts and confidences and trust

And eventually minds and bodies,

And finally races, peoples, nations...

...let's decree innocence mandatory!

Let's enforce its permanent residence

Beneath women's veils, abused children's smiles --

Then, we'll celebrate 'cause we saved the world,
Rid it of suspicion, complications, --
And made it a safe place for our children,
Where no child will suspect a stranger's touch,
People will procreate but not know how.
It'll be Paradise -- but the fruit, untouched,
Will never tell man of his nakedness.
