Stereo hypocrisy

I find it infuriating and insulting that an adult deems all younger to be of some negative or some amazingly positive creation, failing to see that all humans have flaws, and all are not like one.

So im baby

an infant

my eyes dont fully focus

i yell and scream

attention pleading

my feet dont touch the ground

smothered , carried

arm to arm

cooed , doused in affection

the cute commander

of a family flock

squidy round the edges

gentle loving

deemed selfless

learning colors

stretching smiles

a beauty to a mother

So im a toddler

getting louder

running back and forth

eyes on me all hours

my fingers crawl explore

destroy

my voice demands the power

obnoxious, funny

still quite cute

a little terror 

on the loose

my feet now move

one past the other

walking , running, tripping

tearful moments

screaming fits

shaping out a person

So im child

a terror

an individual

a brimming spirit

touching all 

exploring the world

my mouth is open

spewing words

constantly learning

from ABC's 

to 123's

a genius in my belief

im never wrong

im always right

stubborn

and standing upright

developing ever so fast

So im a teenager

a youth

one who owns small knowledge

who shouts

complains

and runs around

who disregards

offends and insults

with little care for all around

My knuckles burst with human blood

load nights and disobidence

alchol

drugs

bodily abuse

a nuisance 

a menance to society

a problem with no solution

and then it all changes

it all becomes acceptable

we become adults

the stereo-types fade away 

now that where at that age

where they would have to say

Adults.. 

but they wouldn't 

would they

of course not

cause they

they after all are adults

the flawless human kind

who do no wrong

and so wrongly judge all below there eye-line

Im a teenager

I am not a criminal

to right:) brilliant poem. loved the structure and flow. and a fantastic ending

[Satchmo's Gal]

wow. powerful ending. I have to admit the reason I started reading this poem was because the title caught my eye, and up to this point I dont regret it. It's a very passionate and creative look on the point of view of adults. I think it's positively swell.
