Old man, old school Young man, new rules Self-taught all out, times bout to expire Now the youth today look lup to themselves riding the streets with flat tires They think they have the way To make it on their no plans, yet they stand Young man can't stand The advice and wisdom of the elder man Young man thinks he can To do it all out the palm of his hands Old man reminded of the plans His children have had now they have their heads in their hands Watching them, Washington, all the politicians Four leaf Glover, Sesame Street and Grover And inclined to the beings of time Better take the advice and wisdom of the elder man No time to sway, sag, brag or play, Only time left is to pray The youth are the elders of tomorrow but what about today if they don't choose the right way then all mankind tomorrow will lose, hey Old man glances young man chances The choice is yours I have the cure Let loose speak the truths and don't let anyone tell you after Young man still thinks he can I'm incline to believe in the righteous ways The advice and wisdom of the elder man 08/20/15 written by James Edward Lee Sr. from submitted entry "UNO Poetry to Bridge Generations Elder & Youth 2015"
