I can handle being mistreated by the arrogant young—
They’re weak and aren’t aware of what they’re doing—

When the weak wield power they become tyrants
And all the more vicious for their weakness

While the strong stay their hand in wisdom
And strike only if they need to do so—

I’ve grown old enough to tolerate the young and foolish
But I won’t renounce my wisdom should they continue their disrespect
