Innocent One
Oh hidden one,
I know you are there.
I don’t shun.
You are beneath the labels,
Shallow stereotypes,
Sorry we can’t turn the tables.
You are beneath the fear of your kind
Beneath the ruthless prejudice,
How could people be so blind?
Oh faithful one,
My hope deep inside me,
Burning like the midnight sun
Has hope for you.
Oh innocent one
People envision you as vile,
Afraid to think something else.
But I envision you as a child.
