Young Blood

A word to the youth You are not reinventing the wheel Everything you read on a search engine Was placed there by those old people You treat like fossils from a distant past Contempt has to he learnt And what you see before you as withered and burnt What you take for granted Was paid for and paved by old age and experience There life has been banked and spent A 1000 lifetime's over And you will never know it Until you 2 grow into it So act like you know it all You won't be young forever And you will only realize you were never that clever And that age stings And the only thing worth discovering Can't be taught it has to be bought And the cost is lines and wrinkles Not teenage pimples
