Underdeveloped 

Houses made of stick and mud

Girl with a straw doll...

Caterpillar

     
     Caterpillar looks around,

     Sees butterfly on the wing.

     Feeling underdeveloped

     Patiently waits for the Spring.

This guy prides himself in speaking gibberish
Multilingual, proud along with my limericks
Went to Benny Hill school
For underdeveloped fools
Passed with flying colours, ended up the class validick...

Playful pony promenade
Quietly quizzing querulous quail
Respite regulated regimented rabbits
Studiously steering sterling striped starlings
Tricking trinkets, trunks and tributaries
Undervalued, underdeveloped, and underdone...

His heart, once tattered,
recalls the scars
grown around forgotten misdeeds.

Blame became a
knife, exposing 
tender, underdeveloped nerves.

Today, the accidental push
sends him, descending 
into anger and remorse.

It's a shame....

Modernization will never complete Materialistically
It asks for moral and spiritual support
As man is too careless
To avoid repeating historical errors
As man is too selfish to share the enriched future
Many parts of the world still underdeveloped
And poverty instead of modernization rules them...

The need to be cosseted from reality 
numbs our minds 
creating a majority 
of underdeveloped scared 
squares. 
boastful, ignorant belittlers 
blur the lines between reality 
and plastic utopia 
hiding the complexities of the world 
with coffees and cream and music and bullshit...
where did it all go wrong?...

I line my crown with velvet
Listen and you want have to guess it
I can't even help it
This game is not for the underdeveloped

I line my Crown with velvet
Will give out no merits
Your comfort is your food
My comfort must be viewed

I line my crown with velvet
The world will never forget it
My Reign will never exit
Never to be inherit!!
I line my crown with velvet...

How old are you, twenty-nine? Some stranger asked her.
Sinicker. Snicker.Snicker.Snicker.
Obviously has an underdeveloped brain.
As the senior was teased, the home’s lights began to flicker.
She heard the retreating whistle of a computer train.
I am a hundred and two, she replied, glad to be alive.
It was a lie, but who was going to catch her?
No one else here was around when she was born in 1905....

As a young boy with older brothers
A father who was either drunk or in prison 
My big brother had a one on one talk with me
About being developed 

But first this story about Tom Sawyer
He read in school about Tom and played me for a fool
Somehow he talked me into painting his room blue, fact!!
But one day when all was quiet

He explained sex to me
No wonder I could never find a girl
Who liked me?
Darn Brothers anyway!...

Some kids look funny;
while, others just look.

Their eyes and ears in
juxtaposition, leaves little
to the imagination.

Maybe, what they are all about
is simply fun and play 

They test the world,
in ways that only someone
with an underdeveloped mind could,

creating havoc here and there;
while, having the times of their lives

Children run, leap and cry
to anyone who'll care.

unaware, that soon, 
they will become us!...

Slight of movement
minute fluttering
flicker over my stomach;
as imagination takes
on passing butterfly's wings.
It's the beginning of one very new.
An early germinal stage,
the foundations of something
so much bigger to come....
Rudimentary hiccups 
of one so slight.
Invisible behind my bump grows,
an immature being -
I've seen it 
at scan stage.
Underdeveloped,
a miracle -
all manmade.
My future,
my hopes,
my dreams.
My child....

Some May Forget But

Some may forget but
I still remember segregated times
churning hatred of evil lips 
speaking from underdeveloped brain stems
sarcastic voices frightening little girls
who hid behind the embrace of notebooks
forbidden places and angrier faces
picket signs and a rain of dogs 
scenes of civil injustice
ageless and fresh.

Some may forget but
I still remember segregated times,
traveling south and having to use
a wooded bathroom.
