Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.

Object
You know you turn me on
Eyes so white and legs so long
But don't try to talk to me
I won't listen to your lies
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes
Sophisticated smile
You seduce in such fine style
But don't try to fool me
'cause i can see through your disguise
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes
But i don't mind
I just don't care
I've got no objection
To you touching me there
Object object
Object object
Object object
Object object
You know just what to do
Lick your lips
And i want you
But don't try to hold me
'cause i don't want any ties
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes
But i don't mind
I just don't care
I've got no objections
To you touching me there
You're just an object object
Object object
You're just an object

Orphan
On looking negative side of human being
we are always lying on the floor because
of misdeed committed by them for their self interest
Realizing never exists in their dictionary
what will happen as a result of their misfortune
Please do not commit these type of error
even than error is committed why you punish to us
Humiliation faced by us is very painful and unbearable
very difficult question is asked and we are empty....who are you
Always feel insulted by people on ground of misdeed of few
Their misdeed not only harm them but also defame parenthood in the universe
However some human kind came to help us
in different form, some adopt us while few give us separate home
but we only want to live with full respect... no question.....related to parenthood.
We are orphan children around universe.

Cloning looks like a degrading of parenthood and a perversion of the right relation between parents and children.
I know how sobering and exhausting parenthood is. But the reality is that our children's future depends on us as parents. Because we know that the first years truly last forever.

My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own parenthood, but it didn't because parenting can be learned only by people who have no children.

Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.

You only understand the joys of parenthood when you have your first child, you only understand the mystery of death when in mourning.
Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take-over of our lives.

Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is.

Understanding Late
I understood about my parents
Only after their deaths.
I understood about my siblings
Only after their parenthood.
I understand about my children
Only after my invalidity.
In case I am reborn,
I would not do wiser.

Functions Are Hollows
The marriage is to sanction the union.
The birthday is to declare the parenthood.
Children's weddings are parents' vanity.
Parties are to flaunt the style of living
Sixtieth birthday is to inform one's existence.

It's all about the fungibility and money. If Planned Parenthood accesses hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money and they use that for other purposes, then they can use other dollars to fund abortion.

Have Desire To Have
Have money,
Plenty of money,
or little money,
Have appetite,
Have no time,
we are hungry,
and then become angry.
Have appetite,
Burning appetite,
Churning appetite,
dizzy appetite.
Have appetite,
Have plenty of time, but
Have no money.
People are hungry,
and they are hungry as always.
Angry are hungry,
anger for better things,
Better fast food,
better service,
better facilities
Hungry people are angry,
anger for basic food,
Just to fill the pit,
that churns day and night,
not knowing,
What is available to a man.
Hunger is the turning point,
when insufficiency is pointed.
Hunger is an insult,
when inefficiency is noted.
Let us have the desire,
to have a better world,
where no human,
go and sleep with hungry.
