Did you see the movies last night? Or were you too busy on your assignment? I was up to see the obscene scenes again, No adult to caution my eyes or sighs, I was up with the tube as my teacher... ...and I listened; I saw the world in a single tour, The moans I can now mimic... ...like the one mummy made with dad, I need not eavesdrop on any of them, They barely see me nor pay attention, So... ...I journey alone to the worlds, I decipher good or bad at my discretion, I blow my horn and see evil when I choose; I learnt and learnt fast... ...the cartoons tried to help but failed, So much for Bond or the so called blues, My eyes drifted with my mind and my soul, I leapt for trials and test runs, I saw and heard my desired destination only, So much from the tube... ...so little from my parent, That’s my faith...the faith of the global child. « return. |
