    Age over Wisdom

    How many time have you been embarrassed by age?
    Drowned in rumors with wisdom strong as rage
    When people look at me they see the sweet sixteen
    yet they always forget the wisdom established in between
    How can I grow into my legacy with a starting ruler?
    like a school, you expect the new kid too be much cooler
    yes, i have been told, im smart for my young age
    I believe the mind can trick wisdom like a powerful mage.
    The funniest things happen that elders can’t get
    They don’t have time for nature, or too pick of a mitt
    Even the sun is getting old
    People don’t thank it, because it’s not what their told.
    Rather you admit it or not you’re all afraid.
    What if my child was correct, and it’s a cracked path I laid
    Why cant we listen to the wisdom of one another?
    Instead we label brains with age from brother to brother
    I would like too say for once someone else is Wright
    I just can’t imagine using his words too take another bite
    How could you look past someone else’s livelihood?
    not even given his word a chance, too have a road SCRIPTED good
    Here ye people jump back into God’s hand
    where your guarded from southern temptation, in a sacred land

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
