Innocence

By Dragonfly

Maybe if we try hard enough we can fill that empty cup

Danger:

With a little more innocence

Caution:

To save the humanity of the world one drop at a time

Warning:

Impossible for someone as foolish as me

Attention:

Possible perhaps with your help

If under the age of eighteen:

For if I save someone else's child from the harshness of the world

   Peligro:

Maybe one day the favor will be returned

Pecaución:

No one helped me,

Advertencia:

But I will help you

Atención:

Help me

Si es menor de dieciocho años:

Help you

危险:

Help no one

注意:

And in the end there is nothing

警告:

A little vase full of the tears of what could of been

注意:

Nothing now something much worse

如果未满十八岁:

Follow me into the inner sanctum of my thoughts

远离这个男人

And see the hardships caused by my lack of innocence

Mantente alejado de este hombre

And maybe then you can see what happens

Stay away from this man

When children follow my lead

    Sounds like a variation on the Pied Piper of Hamelin perhaps? Intriguing read and enjoyed the balance between warning and explanation, thanks.
