Slaughter of the Innocent

the slaughter of the innocent,
passes by the ignorant
no one knows, no one listens,
faint murmurs of the wind begins
a new life is wrought,
but nothing can be taught
for when there is no innocence,
there cant be any penchance
for learning, or for knowing,
i look upon the change,
and know that no one can gauge
the depths of such an event
for it is but the slaughter of an innocent!

hehe.. well, i guess its a lil ambiguous, but since v were talkin abt innocence or d lack of it(when i wrote this one)..
its supp to say that once innocence is dead, a new life is born that does not seek knowledge(is not curious to learn) ..hmm thats supp to be a bad thing, don ask me why ;) ;)

Don't hate me for this but, let me give you a bit of constructive criticism.


So, the poem has a great premise and good word usage. You are making a mistake though that I myself do all the time..


Meter. Rhyme used to be important for poetry but hasn't been in forever. Meter though still is. A poem doesn't quite flow as well from the lips if the meter goes a bit off and here, it is very off..
