glad not to be part of the terrifying new wonders
that the young will only spoil with their pride and ignorance
like their fathers and their fathers before them
ruining their times in a painful learning
thus is each of us history as such
but of that I would not make too much
old age knows to what youth aspires
and how quickly the quester easily tires
and who could one trust
when faced with their own shame
ego wounded and quietly burning
to share this realization as a confidence?
old age will know history will cease and then will come splenders...
