It is truly said in letters:
That gray hair is wisdom;
That experience is the best teacher;
That wisdom and age simultaneously increase their kingdom.
The bald men should be respected;
From you a million courtesy to them is expected.
Against them the venom of anger should be extincted;
On their every word must you feed.
O these sagely people;
Sprouting words that would render gods cripple.
Claiming to be God by the testament of age;
They and God are always on a page.
[
They preach a sermon of humility;
Yet to humility do they have an imsmunity.
They spin tales of respecting;
Yet they forget the lessons of reciprocating.
[
Elders are to be respected;
Youths are to be disregarded;
Children are to be anti-deaf but dumb;
Their foolish wisdom are to be ravished to the last crumb.
[
Spare me the hypocrisy;
Spare me the tale of your endless odyssey.
These ones seem to have lost the skill of making mistake;
A mountain of faulty preconceptions do they bake.
[[[
Long Live the Humble Old;
His death bed would never be cold;
The warmth of youth would surround him;
Effulgent angels would bear him as his life ceases to dim.
