How Innocent Are We! ! ! !

How innocent are we to make a house of sand with doors of leaves and Windows of glass and Roof of clouds and Floor of water And then think of living in it forever. How innocent are we! We stitch our dreams with spider’s web allow our thoughts to fly in the bird’s beak work on it like ant does Flutter for food like butter fly Jump in the air like fish and Allow sunrays to nurture it and Moonbeams to culture it How innocent are we! A wind gives us the direction, Mountains decides the road Family conducts our affairs Society dictates the ways We are tied to a rope We become puppets in the hands of fate Still, we believe by faith that life is our own How innocent are we!
