To reach the heights
That they prefer to hold
The feet of the elders
Rather than holding hands

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…

their wisdom does us no good
unless we heed the words they say.

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"....

for the elders and peasants.
Their king, who is also their god,
bleeds.

cries out in the midst of a shocked crowd....

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...

On the banks of the river

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

older is not always wiser
older is not always wiser
a saying proven wrong many times
I have met many wise children
they recognize the power of love

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—
