The toddler must say no in order to find out who she is. The adolescent says no to assert who she is not.

I think that is a universal adolescent feeling, trying to find your place. The adolescent who is perfectly adjusted to his environment, I've yet to meet.

Past The Adolescent Childish Age
Some refuse today to comprehend or face,
That they're...
Past the adolescent.
Past the adolescent.
Past the adolescent,
Childish age.
Some sit with wishes they could duplicate,
Those...
Adolescent.
Their adolescent days,
Long faded away.
They are,
Trapped and disconnected.
Trapped and disconnected.
Trapped and disconnected,
Broken from decay.
Some sit with wishes they could duplicate,
Their adolescent days.
But they're,
Past the adolescent.
Past the adolescent.
Past the adolescent,
Childish age.
And
They
Are...
Trapped and disconnected.
Trapped and disconnected.
Trapped and disconnected,
Broken from decay.

Life is perfect
Life is perfect and in order
We make it imperfect and put out of order
You can’t escape from the responsibility
As it may cast doubt on your ability
Life is full of adventure and challenge
You got to rise and ably manage
You may not find the real return
But it may help you in long run
Life may teach you all the lessons
You should not offer excuses with reasons
As weather and atmosphere change with seasons
You must prove very hard and resolute as nice person
You should never look back as it will comprise failure
Look always forward and make it doubly sure
Sorrows and pain should be left behind
Life should be made worthy to find
Leave behind the past with complete surety
You will emerge as strong and mighty
You will assert positively and look for tomorrow
Keep your self braced and allow

And it's one thing to give people freedom and something else to deny the rights of Christians to assert their faith in order to keep Hindus from feeling upset.

An Erudite Book
www.com to my heart and,
www.com to an adolescent who speaks;
But your 'dressing-logy' buffers the negative of the adverse of life,
And like what is seen at www.com always.
Filtered water is what you care for,
But do not let this water run out dry before the adolescent;
Because an erudite book is in the making!
And like what is seen at www.com always.
'Dressing-logy'!
www.com to the heart of the adolescent;
And this addiction is very hard to overcome,
But love is like the theatre of my mind.
Try to deal with your history very honestly,
Because an erudite book is in the making;
And i am now standing in the shadow of your love.

Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.

A mother and a toddler
Screeching tires
Halting onlookers
Camaraderie
Is dubious
What’s beneath
Limbs were strewn apart
Flesh of a mother and a toddler
Government officials
Broke down to their knees
The beggar they’re chasing
Was gone in a split seconds
Surreal
Now they have deceased
A tragic ending
Was it a life’s lesson?
Who could bear?
To look at the scene
Paradigm?
I swear
It’s not supposed to be seen
A toddler
In tact
In his mother’s cuddle
Albeit mother’s strewn
All over
A bundle

Forever Young
Like a toddler running there,
running, running everywhere,
it's hard for them to walk or pace
for a toddler's life is one big race.
Do you think that you can run and run
now that you are eighty-one?
It's impossible for you to do
but your youth is never through.
For in our hearts there's a memory that lasts
of when we ran just as fast.
So as we think back to those days
our youth comes back in many ways.
We see a child run and smile
and visualize and feel the mile
that never seemed to far to go
and even though our pace is slow
in our hearts we're forever young.

A Family
If you have a child in your lap,
young moms would visit with kids to make them play around,
if you have a toddler,
many toddler will come and make your house upside down
if you have a teenage boy or girl,
young crowd willl throng your house with lots of noise,
if you have a married daughter in law in your familty,
young married ladies will get together to gossip and have fun,
if you have a oldies in your house,
old retired people will come to have a cup of coffee,
and when you donot have anyone,
no one will come to your house to say hello.

[Verse 1: ]
Yo(yo)
He the type to pop tags and be cockin the brim
Might breeze through The Ave, might stop at the gym
And he keep a du rag, keep his wave on swim
Wa waves on swim so they hate on him
Anyway I think I met him sometime before
In a different life or where I recall
I mean he was Adam, I think I was Eve
But my vision ends with the apple on the tree
'S' on my chest cause I'm ready to save him
Cause I'm the one like I'm Tracy McGrady
And I think I love him like Eminem call us Shady
When he call me mama, lil mama, I call him baby
[Chorus: ]
Shawty I'm a only tell you this once,
you're the illest
(bah ba dah dah oh)
And for your lovin' I'm a Die Hard like Bruce Willis
(bah ba dah dah oh)
You got spark, you, you got spunk
You, you got something all the girls want
You're like a candy store
You're like a candy store and I'm like a toddler
You got me wantin' more
and mo mo more and
Your love, your love(yeah) [x4]
Your love, your love [x4]
(yo, yo yo yo)
[Verse 2: ]
He they type to keep a couple hundred grand in the rubberband
Just left Money Gram in the Lemon Lam
Hot damn make me scream like summer jam
I mean that nigga must be from the motherland
Anyway I think I met him in the sky
when I was a Geisha he was a Samari
Somehow I understood him when he spoke Thai
Never spoke lies and he never broke fly
s on my chest let me get my cape on
With a certificate that I changed my name on
Na Na Na Name on
With a certificate that I changed my name on
[Chorus: ]
Shawty I'm a only tell you this once,
you're the illest
(bah ba dah dah oh)
And for your lovin' I'm a Die Hard like Bruce Willis
(bah ba dah dah oh)
You got spark, you, you got spunk
You, you got something all the girls want
You're like a candy store
You're like a candy store and I'm like a toddler
You got me wantin' more

Your love, your love(yeah) [x4]
Your love, your love [x4]
Find me in the dark
I'll be in the stars
Find me in your heart
I'm in need of your love

Pie In The Sky
It takes photon power
And eight minutes of an hour
To make it to our sun
And I know it sounds weird
But itll take you four years
To make the next one
Expanding border
Thats the sauce
Of chaos
And thats an order
Thats an order
So stomp your feet
And clap your hands
Get out of your seat
And do a little dance
Lift up your voice
And sing with glee
Now listen carefully to me
Desert your quarters
Behold the pie in the sky
And thats an order
Thats an order
Thats an order [7x]

Toddlers
When it comes to playing in the dirt
you will find children everywhere in the sand,
but at bathing time every toddler is in rebellion.
When it comes to playing in the dirt
children build astonishing roads and dams
and with soldiers they want to free each other.
When it comes to playing in the dirt
you will find children everywhere in the sand.

I assert that every man is a partialist; that nature secures him as an instrument by self-conceit, preventing the tendencies to religion and science; and now further assert, that, each man's genius being nearly and affectionately explored, he is justified in his individuality, as his nature is found to be immense; and now I add that every man is a universalist also, and, as our earth, whilst it spins on its own axis, spins all the time around the sun through the celestial spaces, so the least of its rational children, the most dedicated to his private affair, works out, though as it were under a disguise, the universal problem. We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field, goes through every point of pumpkin history.

Justice
come and see where it is
you find dancing the sea.
Never find the sky loughing
somewhere in the city.
you find me without
size and shape
the rough road ahead.
come and see
I am missing
in the gitamandir.
And i am somewhere
on the bank of the ganga
where judge is there
to pass order
after the game over.

There’s a time that the sun sets
There’s a time
that the sun sets
and it’s also
how life goes.
My dad read the last time
the poem that let the hairs
on my arms raise
of a horse
with a rider without a head
like only he can
and when I was naughty
the man with the hat and jacket came
and never again
and later I find it hanging
in his wardrobe.
Red-brown lumps fall on a wooden chest
and what does a toddler know
of final farewell,
except that the sun sets
over the hillock
on the other side of the place
where he lies.

In the shade of a long winter yet to come
In the shade of a long winter yet to come
I am standing now:
But
Let me not forget that I was born
In Winter too: but on the fringe
Of it with the Spring:
A case of enjoying both worlds?
Or that the Spring
And Winter together conspired that and such
In my first few days I would be of Winter
But then Spring made its best to gladden me
Began another season in the world
Parallel to my new life, and to it proportionate.
Tele keli bere mesret
Ha! Yes these words, this language:
I project
And what I project in chronology
That is in order chronological
I then assert:
Thoughts, notes, verses, songs are given
