Innocense Versus Corruption

HELLO! This is my second contest.
This time I am looking for severe contrast-
Rhyme or free verse, Form or none, doesn't matter as long as you stick to the description I am asking for.
**** Innocence- Show the beauty in an innocent living thing, whether it be plant, animal, or human. Make me feel vulnerable, to reach and hold it, take care of this fragile thing.
**** Corruption- This is an idea, put concrete truth to it, whether it be about a person, a country, a group, or something deep inside. The tainting of something that could have been beautiful but wasn't given a chance(or was born that way).

There you go! Hope I helped with inspiration, Dazzle me, is all I ask. I want inspiration for my own work through this contest.
(((((((((((((RULES)))))))))))))))
1. No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs.
2. You can post two poems if you like but the have to be about different subject, innocence, and corruption.
3. Don't poke fun at any other contestants work.\
4. Please spell check.
5. Write the option you chose (I know I know I must be stupid if I don't realize this but humor me)
6. I know this is anonymous contest but I'd like for you to write your screen name in author's box so I can check your other works, I promise to not judge by the number of trophies but I feel this is a way to make new AP friends through a contest.

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!
