As an a secnior citizen this is what I see in our youth - sorry
Don't step on me like an insect
Because I am old
Have a little respect
Lord, please make me bold
The youth of today are smart,
intellegent, educated
But they are lacking, we say
In other areas that are rated
Virture, humility, respect
Wisdom comes with age
Please grant patience
That we may not rage
We must now rationlize
Our time in the new age
You have given us eyes to see
But we are blinded by greed
You have given us ears to hear
But to elders we do not listen
We know it all: It must now glisten
God we pray, increase
So we can decrease
Build our faith
On hope and love
