MY MAMA SAID I WAS STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS
She said that little boy  I was dating at sixteen and was “In Love” with was gonna take my heart and steal my innocence leaving me in tears,
MY MAMA SAID I WAS STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS
Because I had not learned that the universe wasn’t in my favor and that “Love” was a destructive drug that I was so addicted to so obsessed with 
That I was now a “Class A Addict”

Because I had not understood the trials and tribulations it took to love someone blindlessly but to look at the world with open eyes, 
I had not learned that it took more than an innocent touch here an there to cure the hearts of madmen,
Men like Osama(Bin Laden) were real and Hitler wasn’t just a faraway dream, 
Newtown and Columbine did happen because we have become so visionless that we let hatred and war slip under our doors...Unnoticed
Because I had not learned that I could not fix everything.

MY MAMA SAID I WAS STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS 
Because I had not learned to pick myself up after the tears,
I hadn’t learned that I could turn a dollar into two or two into three or three into four
I had not learned that when the Lion attacks( and it will)
To be faster than the and slowest Deer and the Deer has to be faster than the slowest Lion
I had not learned that not all dogs had flees,
I had not learned to break my hold of the virtual reality presented on my TV.

MY MAMA TOLD ME I WAS STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS
Because I had not stopped to question Who Am I?
I was too busy trying to be like you and her and him and everyone else,
Because I was so comfortable with being uncomfortable within myself,
Because I had not grasped the concept of love,
You see love is a seed that sprouts where you water it,
Not where you plant your artificial Bluegrass,
Because you think your so high, so mighty and worldly of being looked down upon that someone needs to lay down and kiss your ass,

MY MAMA TOLD ME I WAS STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS
Because I was sixteen and was too old for my own good,
Because I had concealed all the signs, the warning and hidden factors
into a trash bag that I cared less about throwing away,
That boy I was “In Love” with  was gonna take my heart and run away,
Steal my innocence leaving me in tears,
It was new to me but as old as time
Mama said I was still wet behind them ears.
