It's the old story:
Everything Becomes New
Everything Becomes Young, so cruel
is the beauty of life
which sacrifices adults
to their fault
their most grievous fault
of ageing
They still can stay, wise
and competent or not
if they give up their place
earlier than they are ready
Maybe they will then understand
that they also have jockeyed for
position in the past, and even worse
that nobody has benefited from it
so that sacrifices to youth do not exist
There are only real needs to sacrifice
the wasting ego to, and let's hope
there will be hospitable compassion
