The Adolescence of An Inquisitive Boy

Juvenility is an important phase
in every adolescent's life when those young minds
start discovering by themselves
that world around them so strange
and unknown...their curiosity must be constantly tapped,
so they can explore and discover wonders
and places that are only seen in history books;
each travel around the globe is an adventure to behold!

My adolescence was an adventure of thrills,
and was bounded by striking mountains
with a fecund valley below where fruits
dangled from branches and ready to be eaten,
and enjoyed heartedly while sunshine abounded;
days were endlessly delightful and one noticed their end...
when the tangerine sun sank below the cloudless horizon!

Motherland is the flow of your living blood, of your enthusiasm...
it makes one aware where patriots belong, and the oath of fidelity
taken is that proof...betraying it is denying your appurtenance
of culture that you learned with avidity and a passion so intense;
and from it came dynamic thoughts exceedingly dramatic and patriotic
showing eagerness, zest, vigor, intensity, and an extraordinary
drive to succeed in dangerous ordeals to avenge the despotic
regimes that only believed in power and oppression of feelings,
denying one the right to excel: avoid the chasms that could entrap liberties
and send up in smoke each plan with a single blow crash all dreams!
