In Devon, Gina was mad at Sarah and so
Took Sarah's kitten, to the kitchen did go
Put it the microwave, pushed the button in
Kitten died in pain, I'd call that a sin.
Two teens in Juniata did the same as a prank
For them its fun, but to me it stank.
Is it something missing in the mind, or converse
A dark side that drives their morals in reverse?
Two teens in Alberta broke into a home, so brave
Smashed it up, put the cat in a microwave
Listened to it scream in pain before it died
Painted two mocking messages on the side.
Two teen girls in Maine put a cat - guess where:
They made a video on social media to share
Sharing cruelty is not very bright
Not every agrees that such deeds are right.
These humans got into trouble, because not all agree:
That fun with cats goes with humanity.
And yet, I eat animals every day
I put out mouse traps, throw dead mice away.
I guess the difference is that I don't want to cause pain
But some people do, though not clinically insane
Its part of the human condition that they are out there
Know your surroundings, take heed and take care.
There are times when nobody can save
You could be that cat in the microwave.
Teenagers
Tired of being harassed
By your stupid parents
Act now
Stuppidly wanted
Pack your bags and your irrigants
Get up off your ass
Get a job
Fill out an application
Pay your own bills
Because you know everything
You know more than me
Your phone bill will sky rocket
I don’t have a clue
I don’t want to see red sirens
Put your big boy pants on
Don’t ask me for any more money
You can pay for your very own $900 rent payment
Don’t forget a roll of quarts for the laundry matt
Use paper plates
Don’t be crying to me
I don’t want to hear it
You are dying for your own independents
It’s time to do adult things
Enjoy

How do you kiss?
Tilt your head to the side
Keep your lips together
Or open them up wide?
Do you force his head back
Is that doing it right?
But you might see right up his nostrils
What an awful sight
How long do you kiss for?
A minute or an hour
What happens if his mouth tastes
Horrible and sour
From all that I’ve heard
About how to kiss
It sounds pretty terrible
I think I’ll give it a miss!
Teenage age
The adolescent stage, they call it
An age where you start to understand the world
A stage of supposed maturity
But how confusing it can be
Souls shrouded in endless mystery
Wandering lost in search of answers
Minds wavering like wild hogs
In the darkness of the night
There they seek solace
Like humans, yet with souls of vampires
Minds haunted by the daylight
At the heart of the night
There they find comfort
The trials of a teenager
Spread like a wild fire
In the blood of these tormented vampires
A virus cloaked in anguish
In the blood of these young ones, it evolves
In this adolescent stage
Lies a slim chance of survival
On this precarious road to survival
Lies the tears and blood of these innocent souls
Traumatized, but few emerge as survivors
The warriors who cling to the thread of hope
Victory awaits at the end of the road
It's called a stage of maturity
But how mistaken they are
In the lives of these young ones
Lies a dreadful stage of the world.
Teenagers are just
Entering the real world with an
Emotional roller-coaster.
Never understood by others,
All they can do is
Grow with hope,
Excitement, sadness, and fury.
Radiating curiosity are some while others
Seem to already have it figured out.
We smile the most, but
they are the happiest.
And we look the best, but
they are the prettiest.
And we talk the most, but
they are the only ones having a conversation.
All is a lie,
what appears in the eye
does not match the true value.
We see dye, and continue painting.
Escaping, haiting, fading.
Thats what you are supposed to do.
With brushes.
Brushes they gave us.
Brushes that won’t leave us.
Brushes we didn’t ask for.
But got and kept.
They see the motive of the snake
the consequence.
They see beyond appearence,
where we fear interference.
The ad said naked, cold, and shriveling
So why are they clean, warm, and dazzling?
They see dye, and wash it off,
they use the toothbrush to wash the dishes.
They are clean, and
we are dirty.
We have the power, but
they have the muscles.
We did it right.
The juicy taste of red apple is a source of happiness, right?
We take a bite, and feel good
so we eat them all, so we eat ourselves.
But it looks good, so it’s right,
It doesn’t taste good, but it’s right,
WE, feel good right?
Right.
Right, right, right.
Teenagers, oh how they grow,
With hormones raging, they are a show!
Their taste in music and style that's new,
With beats so fresh and fashion so true.
They start to date and fall in love
Their hearts entwined like hand and glove.
Texting, chatting and late night talking,
Make parents cringe and start stalking.
Their moods swinging high and low,
Like waves that dance with ebb and flow.
Endless debates and slamming doors,
Throwing tantrums and silent wars.
Peer pressure mounts, the need to fit in,
Fear of failure, the uncertainty within.
Battles of adolescence, fierce and raw,
In the heart's arena, where emotions claw.
They storm through life with a youthful pride,
Yet inside, they seek a gentle guide.
At times they seem quite wild and untamed,
But deep inside, they're just a child unnamed.
Trapped in meaningless whirling thoughts
Boundaries draped around the body
Unsaid words confined in laughing gear
Dread sentiment flowing in breadbasket
Trembling uncertainty waving inside the stump
Sealed in anticipation of a utopian epoch...
Many people work as a daily wager,
Why depression is becoming common in teenager,
Why the silence from teenagers gone,
Why the violence mode is going on?
Do what you want,don't hear the society,
Generate confidence and step up said God mighty,
You have to become harder mentally,
Deal with problems gently.
It's time for teenagers to grow,
Be the eagle don't be the crow,
Now it's time to bring back the law of creation in trend.
The reason of depression is money, study and rejection of girlfriend,
As cases of depression is very grand,
Make yourself stronger and throw depression to the end.
So keen to get it right
Desperate to stop the cycle
I gave you love, trust and freedom
Used to turn away from the light
The lies never showed on your face
My heart longing to believe you
Whatever you do don’t say it out loud
Now bags are packed for a brand new place
Why didn’t I give you more of my time?
Why didn’t I try even harder?
Why didn’t I listen to all of you?
How could you ever commit a crime?
So I was never good enough
My heart knows that I have failed
New opportunities you can get without me
I send you away with all my love
I have my new phone.
Can't leave it alone.
Why, why?
I have my new phone.
can't leave it alone.
Bye, Bye.
Usa Usa
The free country
Remember the day
Where there were no delays
Oh shall i say the delays
Are because of the disgrace
What we call teenagers of the day
They are being bashed by standards high enough like the twin towers
Twin tower that fell
Violence that arose
guns with no laws
Teens are told not to be alone
Oh shall I say we look behind us
Due to being afraid
Oh shall i say the girls are afraid
Never knowing what to wear or who to trust
While the world is facing away
Oh shall I say the truth is
The world today is not a great place
Sparkling teens eyes
with some glasses of champagne
and sorrows disguised
Buried so long in rules and obligations
To the earth, the roots have worked.
Every time a raindrop falls on a petal,
It finally finds the earth
But the petal owns the mirth
Forgetting it started in the earth first.
The sky births the snowflake
And the snowflake starts the river
Raging
And the doe in the meadow waits
Nervously
For the river to slow down and gently flow
Through the meadow.
Water interrupts war.
Instead it finds life in a root
Of a plant
That makes a flower
That we must give to that little snowflake that started it all.
Give to the roots and let them bloom
High.
