The price of innocence.

At an age where childlike innocence,
Meets the raw realities of adulthood
Fragile minds can spark and incense,
When forces contrive to ruin the brittle brotherhood.

In the glorious era to learn and grow,
To ignite minds with fuel to explore,
Here were deprived folks delivering a counterblow,
Neglecting education and bringing communal angles to the fore.

Could you give back the ignorant bliss,
Of living without judgement or hatred,
That once planted will struggle to be derooted,
Even as we sink deeper into a bigoted abyss!
