a half-full bowl of water
shared amongst men
drought has lasted longer
than elders’ wisdom...

Respect your elders
Mother always told me 
But where are they? 
Walking up and down the street
I see no one older than me....

Helping The Weak
Some people are so quick 
To reach the heights 
That they prefer to hold 
The feet of the elders 
Rather than holding hands 
Of the small ones....

QUICK SOLUTIONS
as many bavila elders
surround the fire while discussing some issues,

see quick solutions.

Who Won the Race
Elder's wrinkles--antique lace,
Taking selfies is a disgrace,
We're the sperm who won the race,
Staying positive is a grace,
Now put a smile on your face!...

We should thank them ever day…

unless we heed the words they say.

Premium Member The Elders
Stories - faces aglow,
the "old ones" sharing 
life's lessons.
Tales of the past,
guideposts in life,
before we all knew more
than those who came before
"our perfection"....

The King Has Bled
Today is a very astonishing day
for the elders and peasants.
Their king, who is also their god,
bleeds.
 “Gods do not bleed!” a child
cries out in the midst of a shocked crowd....

Premium Member Treacherous, Their Ways
Treacherous their ways
    without sunlight's rays
  Paths of sleet and ice
    break our limbs in a trice

  Youths may look, leap and laugh
    Elders dare not make this gaffe...

Passing Thru
passing thru
on my way to glory land
soon I'll be home

I'll sit down
On the banks of the river
to take my rest

won't be long
I'll shake hands with the elders
I will see God...

Premium Member Tell It Like It Is
I’ve been tryin’ for a while to get things right.
Dreams of better days only come at night.
I couldn’t have imagined; life like this’.
Our elders didn’t tell it, like it is—

Respect Your Elders
Here today; gone tomorrow
In a blink of an eye there could be great sorrow
Jesting no more, just past memories
Kindnesses give always, even if you disagree

Embrace them as if there’s no tomorrow...
