I’m Innocent
It is not an oxymoron

I’m to innocence as day is to night
As like an angel as black is to white
I’ve tried so often to be sweet and good
But things never worked out quite as they should
I can’t say no to a questionable dare
If someone say dare ya then I’m there
My ethics aren’t up to close scrutiny
If you want trouble then you’ve found me

I could pretend to sweet naivety
But what’s the point no one believes me
My reputation has always been bad
Which surprises me somewhat and leaves me sad
What does everyone expect that I’ll do?
Surely they know all those tales aren’t true
I couldn’t have done all that they say
Not even if I lived for many a day

Innocence I do innocence I can
Just don’t let it be in front of a man
I don’t know why but they seem to know
That I’m no innocent, as my sins seem to show
I don’t know why I fail yet I do
But I’m just as innocent as any of you
Innocent yes I am don’t laugh at me
I’m innocent until you can prove I’m guilty

No you are not.  I have it on good authority this is not an Oxymoron.  What is even more clever, is that Sun just posted an Oxy thread in the PipTalk Lounge.  I think she would want you to add your two cents there as well!

You're as innocent as fallen snow
In Hades in summer, don't you know?
There are three innocents, it's true
O.J., Arafat and you

...and would we have you any other way? Of course not!!!

(smiles) Yes, you are innocent, for deep down I believe the beauty of innocence always rests in us and you and your sister share this special relationship together! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful testimonial piece, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
