That's one of the great advantages of age. You can say, I don't want to, I don't care, you can throw temper tantrums, and nobody minds.

Clean Sweep of Trash
Look...
What was,
Isn't!
What is,
Moves ahead.
And those minds left in pieces,
Will stay that way.
Just like the clean sweep of trash...
A renewal has taken place.
And anyone not believing it,
Will.
Believe.
When they have been replaced.
Whether they yell or scream,
To throw tantrums...
And demand their rights!
Until they've become blue in the face.
A door has closed.
To lock and box them in!
An exclusive effectiveness,
Kept in all of its isolated splendor...
Has been erased.
And this fact is driving them 'Mad'!

The 'Be' Ending 'Cause' of It...
Because I don't care...?
Your declarations of 'that',
You believe I can not hear?
Because I don't care...
My attempts shown,
Appear invisible?
Gone in thin air?
Because I don't care,
You want me to think I really don't?
You want something more from me?
Something I give...
But accepting on your terms,
A receiving you wont?
Because I don't care...
In the way that you wish.
You continue to say that,
To all your family and friends!
Although none of them are here...
To witness these tantrums of yours,
Repeatedly falling on my deaf ears!
Because I don't care...
May soon be the reason,
Why I will disappear!
Because I don't care?
I care.
But the 'be' ending 'cause' of it...
Has begun to separate.
Just like the feelings I have,
That are fading fast!

The Matriarch At Prayer
A great grandmother genuflects
Before the altar and reflects.
On different stages of her life.
Alternating peace and strife.
A happy child hood followed by
And even now she wonders why
The turbulence of teen age years.
Temper tantrums and hot tears.
But she matured as all must do.
And looking back she can review.
Her teen age angsts quite differently
She's wiser than she used to be.
She is content to know that she
Can still pray for her family.

Anger
Anger irks me!
I abhor persons
Who show tantrums
Not that I don’t get angry
I too loose temper
At timid lambs
Those who bend their heads
To butcher’s knife,
Without a fight

Throw Them Back To The Wolves
Throw them back to the wolves.
The ones released from cellblock envy.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Those who love their crime defined.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Those who break laws all the time.
With nothing but 'bling' on their minds.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Trouble makers showing butt.
Groom to believe they should give it up.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Victims of their own disguises.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Raised on 'rap' and packing 'heat'.
Dimmed with wit is their destiny...
This was how they were raised to be.
Detoxed and recovered.
From baubles, beads and bangles hanging.
Some don't want to have another...
Victimizing chain of gold,
To prove to anyone they're bold.
Leaving streets to the others.
Those who choose to do their 'thing'
From swagger punted schoolyard swings...
And learning from demented idols.
Who could care less who is destressed.
Throw them back to the wolves.
The ones released from cellblock envy.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Those who love their crime defined.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Those who break laws all the time.
With nothing but 'bling' on their minds.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Trouble makers showing butt.
Groom to believe they should give it up.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Victims of their own disguises.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Raised on 'rap' and packing 'heat'.
Dimmed with wit is their destiny...
This was how they were raised to be.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Boo doo doo boo doo boo boo doo.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Boo doo boo doo boo do boo do!
Throw them back to the wolves.
Boo doo doo boo doo boo boo doo.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Boo doo boo doo boo do boo do!
Throw them back to the wolves.
That's the way they'll always like it.
With the others in cellblocks...
Locked out!

Too Much of Life Is Spent Disliking
Too much of life is spent disliking,
In chosen backbiting episodes.
Too much of this creates our sickness.
With temper tantrums ready to explode.
Too much of the wrong we celebrate.
With hatred we solicit.
Too often we say we wish peace to come.
While doing the opposite and expecting to get it.

When They Want It
Those who want what they want,
When they want it...
Are distant from the concept of logic.
And the process of reasoning,
Is as remote from their understanding...
As is their feeling of an empathy.
The only thing they hear that is told,
Is anything that deals...
With the boosting of their ego.
And something given to them,
That can be polished to shine or glow...
Will quiet their temper tantrums everytime.

For Miriam, An Epigram
Strange for Disrespect
To be annoyed
When mirrored in another
How Pride reacts when toyed
And practiced by a brother.
T his was written in jest for a lady senator in the Philippines known for her arrogant behavior and temper tantrums, she recently had a dose of her own medicine. Touche!

The Modern Kid
Born abroad and growing strong
Away from home and motherland
Growing in cosy environs
Pampered by parents, neglected
Loner lost amidst high-tech toys
Craving for love and tender care
Glued to the idiot-box, web-world
Autistic and having own ways
Throwing temper-tantrums for things
Reckless, careless and mischievous
Aping adults, taking all risks
Eating fast foods with fashion fads.

Most films I've worked on have had large casts, but they've been wonderful people. I think the monkey in Pirates of the Caribbean is the most temperamental costar I've had. It would throw tantrums like you wouldn't believe.

Do not be desirous of having things done quickly. Do not look at small advantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly. Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished.
Great minds have purposes, others have wishes. Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them.

Practicality
Keep truth like a book:
To read when you are lonely
and burn when you are cold
Observe the world like a child:
With insatiable curiosity
and a lot of temper tantrums
Think outside the box:
When life gives you lemons
Sell them to some other sucker
Remember this about money:
It's not worth the paper it's printed on
but it can buy you a lot of friends anyway
Don't let anyone call you crazy:
Talk to yourself often and with fervor
You always listen and have the best advice

Displaying A Talent To Throw Tantrums
It is not the obvious,
That those protest.
It is the diminishing of their fantasies,
That upsets.
And being told their empty pockets,
Must make room for reality...
That has those spoiled,
Displaying a talent to throw tantrums!

Throw It All Away
How could you
Just hurt me
And leave me
(leave me all alone)
How could you destroy my life
How could you throw it all away
What made you
Desert me and deceive me
Why did you just let me down
How could you throw it all away
How could you throw...
How could you throw it all away
Throw it all away
When I gave my all, baby
How could you throw it all away
And I gave my all
How could you throw
How could you throw it all away
Throw it all away
You destroyed my life, baby
How could you throw it all way
How could you
Just lead me
Into thinking
(thinking you would be there)
How could you destroy my heart
How could you throw it all away
I love you
Believe you
And I trusted you
(put all my trust in you)
How could you just let me down
How could you throw it all way
How could you throw
How could you throw it all away
Girl how could you
Throw it all away
How could you just take it all
How could you throw it all away
Oh how could you throw
How could you throw it all away
Throw it all
Throw it all away
When I gave my love
How could you throw it all away
I love you girl
You love me so
Where did we go wrong
I know that i
Gave my all to you
But somehow that wasnt good enough
How could you throw it away
How could you throw it all away
How
Throw it all away
How could you destroy my life baby
How could you throw it all away
How could you throw it all away
How could you throw
How could you throw it all away
How could you throw it all away
Throw it all away
When I gave my all baby
How could you throw it all away
Oh, how could you throw
How could you throw it all away
Throw it all
Throw it all away
How could you destroy my life
How could you throw it all away
Oh, girl I will
How could you throw it all away
Always love you
How could you throw it all away
Forever and ever
How could you throw it all away

The Art Is What Sets Him Free
An autistic art,
An autistic show.
Hidden from the world below.
In privacy they do shine.
But that is just not enough.
A justification to verbally assault a mere child.
Their can be no such.
He's no different.
He needs the loving light.
Guidance to overcome demons faced.
Guidance to overcome demons embraced.
This is who I am.
This is magical kingdom your welcome to join.
No need to imprison him.
Putting him under a backwards white coat won't fix him.
Nor will a dose of tranquilizers.
Yes he is considered among the mentally ill.
But only because we don't understand.
Limited minds, have limited reasoning.
We can't handle the fits.
The absolute tantrums.
This child is broken.
Lock him away and throw away the key.
That is something that can never be.

Not One to Dumb Up For Love
Don't leave me in the cold,
With a freezing shoulder you throw.
To prove to everybody you are through.
I choose not to be as vicious,
With someone I still love.
Someone so quick to give,
A chill with attitude.
I want to give you what I wish but can't.
But you don't seem to understand...
I'm not the one,
To dumb up for your love!
I like that boldness you uphold!
An attraction,
That's a fact.
But suffering through your tantrums?
Keep that where it's at!
I'm not a coupon purchase.
What I give to you...
Is topnotch in the doing.
And you believe I'll discount...
What you are doing to me?
Uh-huh.
You will not find me behind you in line.
I want to give you what I wish but can't.
But you don't seem to understand...
I'm not the one,
To dumb up for your love!
I like that boldness you uphold!
An attraction,
That's a fact.
But suffering through your tantrums?
Keep that where it's at!
You will not find me behind you in line.
I'm not the one,
To dumb up for your love!
I'm not one...
To dumb up for love!

Let Me Wear Your Shoes
i shall take a closer look of you
why are you filled with so much hate?
i like to understand every burst of your temper
why are you so unlike the rest? those who want to love
and be gentle like the softness of the green grass
under the skies,
i like to understand why you hate me
why you want to make me disappear
from your own point of view?
i like to stoop and listen
to every sigh and every word
that you do not utter
i like to be a part of you and be more
tolerant about your tantrums
you must ask me why. and i will tell you.
i like to think that you are such a lovable person.
i think, i love you.

I Have Burned Some Bridges
No open doors do I turn to close.
Although I have burned some bridges,
I admit.
And they were the ones...
Some chose to display temper tantrums done.
I do not revisit those quick to give hissy fits.
There are some genuine and wonderful people.
And they have expressed themselves throughout my life.
None that I knew had expectations when they gave.
And I always did my best to treat them right.
Since they are among the few and far between.
For them I will remove the doors from their hinges.
For some others?
I did say I have burned some bridges!
And did not mind if I had been caught in the act of it.

Imitated Life Grasped Scenarios
why do so many
people copy imitate
fashions friends
whatever is trending?
probably for host many
reasons peer pressures
to fit feel sense belonging?
children learn by copying
drawing repeating acting
multiple forms of imitating
many write down copies
of life grasped scenarios
words that inspire infantile minds
songs pantomime experiences
influences influences attitudes teaching
parental behaviour modeling
misbehaviour temper tantrums scolding
social values norms rewarding
today often trends electronically copying
has someone copied your look work styles?
to be imitated is a form of praise
in X generation many influences
most just seek trendy differences
it takes infinitely longer to know self
to develop knowledge of essential self
unique souls perpetuate shades of self
