When in my youth, I fought the fight<\/span><\/div>\n
The world was wrong and I was right<\/span><\/div>\n
The answers were so clear to see<\/span><\/div>\n
It was the questions that eluded me<\/span><\/div>\n
In everything I was so sure<\/span><\/div>\n
Life was the disease, I had the cure<\/span><\/div>\n
The wisdom of those gone before<\/span><\/div>\n
Was nothing but forgotten lore<\/span><\/div>\n
No one could tell me how to live<\/span><\/div>\n
I needed no advice they’d give<\/span><\/div>\n
I had contempt, my heart was cold<\/span><\/div>\n
For I was young and they were old.<\/span><\/div>\n
I spoke too much and listened never<\/span><\/div>\n
So sure I would be young forever<\/span><\/div>\n
Such foolishness and bridges burned<\/span><\/div>\n
Until one day the tables turned<\/span><\/div>\n
Now I’m the one who tries to teach<\/span><\/div>\n
The younger ones I cannot reach<\/span><\/div>\n
To tell the lessons I have learned<\/span><\/div>\n
But they see lines, not wisdom earned<\/span><\/div>\n
For they are young and fight the fight<\/span><\/div>\n
The world is wrong..and they are right.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
