THE DANGER OF DISRESPECT FOR ELDERS
In the dance of life, where generations entwine,
A cautionary tale of disrespect, a warning sign.
Elders, pillars of wisdom, weathered and wise,
Their stories echo through time, a precious prize.
Yet some, in their youth, disregard the old,
Dismiss the stories, traditions untold.
A perilous path, paved with disdain,
For disrespect sows seeds of cultural pain.
In wrinkled hands, life's lessons are held,
A legacy of struggles, victories compelled.
Yet youth, blinded by the glare of the new,
Can lose the treasures that elders once knew.
Respect, a bridge to the past and the now,
An intergenerational pact, a sacred vow.
Disregard weakens the ties that bind,
A fraying thread in the fabric of mankind.
Elders carry the weight of histories vast,
Their presence a library of lessons amassed.
To disrespect is to sever that link,
A rupture in time, where perspectives shrink.
The danger lies not just in broken ties,
But in losing the wisdom that in elders lies.
For in each furrowed brow, a story unfolds,
A narrative of endurance, of tales untold.
So, let us heed this cautionary rhyme,
Respect for elders, a virtue in prime.
In honoring the old, we honor the young,
A harmonious symphony, where all belong.
