Elderly
Heard him say and hated
“Tell us all, we are young
Among us you’re the one.”
Example, the Master
He said and he meant that
He was right.
That is hard
How heavy
It could feel
Being old, unaware
I felt pain also shame
Elderly
Elderly
Elderly
Can it be?
Like a dog done the wrong
I held tail between legs
Repeated, my head down
The oldest
The oldest
The oldest
Can it be?
Repeated
It is hard
It is hard
It is hard
… when in charge …
