Loss of innocence

Remember this, nations don’t have friends, they have interests
so you really think your existence makes much of a difference
at all times, in war and peace, experience is of great significance
so why wouldn’t you be the one to set an example of brilliance
man and nation have one thing in common; loss of innocence

let me say it again, history is written with a colored pen
it must be out of ink, cuz you ain’t mentioned my friend
walk with peace, you ain’t a pacifist, but you choose the path
so do the math, who will you blame when you feel the wrath
once you hear the drum, feelin’ dumb for trusting eye and tongue  
surprised and shocked, because you never saw that 5th column come

listen, little girl sees everyday pass by at high speed
poor girl has visions of a life without sorrow and greed
indeed, she is wondering if she belongs to a cursed breed
because all of her life she lived in need, 14 , just a seed  
confused, asking mommy, what do I have to do to succeed
she can barely read, and her lust for life begins to recede
what do you do, when you have a kid you can’t feed
never had a childhood, now she has a child in the hood
guess the conclusion is, little girl is doomed for good
loss of innocence, maybe one day you’ll cross her existence
think of this instance, and please offer her assistance
but people take pleasure in watching pain from a distance
