Age of the mind I don't quite know how old I am, But I have been alive for 15 years. I know that I have got older But I do not know that I have come of age And I do not know that the effects of such a thing are external. I know that my mind has grown From a small sleepy village Into a vast city where, despite its size, Very few live. I know that along with the growth And with the transistion from village to city Comes negatives. For often; I do not dream I do see And I see this time for what things are And what things are can be really very sad. I don't quite know how old I am; But I know I have been alive for 15 years.
