i was young and i was innocent
like new babe of blossom scent,
unscarred, unspoilt and unrent,
a shiny penny, new, unspent

then i ventured in unknown space
found myself in foreign place
a running rat-race, of human chase,
of ugliness, sent to debase

or to temper pure chastity
to give it strength and vitality
for if you hold onto your morality
then diamond self gains finality

but if you get caught in the contest,
who's the weakest, who's the strongest,
drop out quick from competition,
its illusion to forget your mission

return to truth of inner soul,
then you'll feel at one and whole,
ignore the public opinion poll,
you'll achieve your self, your goal.
