So Hesiod looked around on an ancient Grecian day He looked at all the rowdy youth doing things their way With their sundials and writing And their chariots like lightning He concluded that youth were going the wrong way
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint."- Hesiod
