MYEKEEMEDIA 9-LIVES POEM 009


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.
