Poem Artwork

As youth is wasted on the young


So must wisdom be wasted on the old


For neither cultivates the void


But instead laments the deficit


Rage is known to all


Sparked by frustration


Fueled by ignorance


Experience remains the teacher


Except for fools


We move on or die


We adapt or perish


Choices abound and confound


Yet still constructed and deployed


Life goes on


With or without us
