A life in scars
When old
and a memory attacks
Remember it's the memory
Of a failed action in the past
That keeps a person
From progression into the future
Worried of failure again
The citizens
That might need the experience
Won't receive it
It's important lesson
Gets lost in second guessing
Plus the failure of youth
To listen to a voice of experience
Other nations teach reverence
For older citizens
America is all about
The value of beautiful youth
Who know little
And won't learn
Since they've been taught
They are so special.
The mistake is
No one is special
Until the scars show up
