Innocence Of A Smile

I sat in a crowded place
Chatting with my mother
Leaving the conversation

I saw a person in front of me
He threw at me a friendly smile
And I smiled back at him sweetly
As I walked away I realized
The innocence of that smile
No intentions of cheat or deceit
No extraordinary display of style
Then innocent smile that I received
Changed the way I thought of life

It wasn’t filled with darkness
It wasn’t like today - The World Is In Pain

And as the darkness began to prevail
So says the story tellers tale
From bad to worse, and worse to worst
It felt as if the whole world would burst

The world wasn’t filled with all sorts of crimes
With all the people going insane
The world wasn’t filled with killers and bandits
It wasn’t like today - The World Is In Pain
