The Elite, the Wise Ones'
May 21, 2014
The Elite, the Wise Ones'
by
Matthew Mitchell
They are, The Elite, the Wise Ones'
Sentinels and Vanguards of years gone by
They are, The Elite, the Wise Ones'
Relics of by gone times, Guardians of memories
They are, The Elite, the Wise Ones'
Silver-haired, Regal to the last, Keepers of tradition
They are, The Elite, the Wise Ones'
Parents, Grandparents, Holders of faith, of a generation past
They are, The Elite, the Wise Ones'
Saying goodbye in all but words, it's time to take leave, make room, to start again

This is so on point! They (Parents, Grandparents, Elders) are the wise ones, they afterall, have seen it all before, lived it, and thru it all. They give (freely), their counsel---if only we'd listen, and learn from them, but, we won't, like they didn't when they were our age. Why are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?
