8. Innocence

I am not blameless in any sense. No matter how I try to disguise it.
Born with fault, from my first breath I was found guilty.
Decency is not instinctive, but rather taught.

To have the expected innocence of a flower, Unattainable.
A virtuous nature compatible with the wisest tree.
Mountain spring purity of the noblest kind. Impractical.

Although, water is easily corrupted without reason.
The trees are blamed for a gust of raging madness.
Even the flowers are trampled, no matter how innocent.
