My Regrets Your Lessons

I have lived believing I have to be right, Overlooking my flaws, mind clouded by pride Words of the elderly I ignored. Sucking on my tongue, thinking to myself Old man your time passed, mine is now Let me live young wild and free. As seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks Months and years pass by. Gradually demons of days passed begin to haunt Me. I thought myself wise because I learnt from My mistakes but little did I know that I would Be wiser if I learnt from other people’s mistakes. Now fate has dawned upon me my sins Being paid in blood, sweat and tires are The currency in use. I regret my arrogance And pride. Youths of future generations Learn from my cries fashion, technology And all other things will come and go But the words of the elderly will last for All eternity, learn from them, respect Them, and above humble thy self.
