Caught In Transition

There are the normal people and there are the differently able
The difference arising from birth or circumstances they later faced
They are individually unique and represent an exotic work of art
To relate to their make-up and disposition you need to have a heart

There are certain glaring gaps that people can relate visually on the physical form
Rarer are the breed that empathize with the slow progress different to the norm
There are some who intentionally lay low stating basic comprehension to be difficult
Others demonstrate mental inertia taking cover behind their lack of knowledge of occult

There are many transitions that happens in the evolving life of man
Many of them are defined by society and happens within a time span
As long as you fit in you are never assessed as a measure of mean deviation
Should you be an outlier you uncover an existence that is a measure of dispersion

There are some conditions that people are blessed with at birth
Some may be genetic and others may be due to sheer lack of forethought
Not everyone foresees the future and is able to master fundamental perfection
Beyond luck one’s preference and sense of timing plays a role in procreation

There are times when there is wide age disparity between the parent and child
As they live through their existence their set of daily challenge may not really be mild
They may find it difficult to relate especially if their reality is one of between generations
They may not have the luxury to get off the steep cliff and re-examine conflicts of transition


Either parent or child may not be readily able to establish a frame of reference
Their sample audience more often than not reflects a homogeneous population
Their existence and connect may not be readily grasped by the uncaring and numb
Their experience has been very different in a world that demonstrates sheer apathy

It is not that either parent or child lack empathy or demonstrate lack of interest and effort
It just happens that laws of nature deliver a ruling that may seem to be very blunt and brute
There will always be a difference in mental strength and the physical endurance to sustain
When one is born fundamentally at a cross-road the probability of convergence seems remote

The relationships evolves with its sense of deep conflict, agony and pain
When meeting even the normal expectations of their age seems a bane
Either of them requires a tremendous adaptation and a maturity beyond their ages
It may deprive them of indulgence and their innocence and exuberance may be lost to just remain in the game!
