Life's long lessons
Learned a long time ago
Preached by our elders
Never listening

We march and move along
Never much asking
Why
We go our way into knowing all

Just to remember
They told us so
So why do we ignore
The lessons learned before

Maybe it's too late
We wait too long
Worry too late
My list goes on

I often wonder
Where I am
Just a substitute
For my ultimate place here

My elders will be gone soon
I will be forced to know the real
How I will fare
To tell the children
Life may not be fair

I want so badly
To stay
Just cant get my peace
While I am still here
