AYE....
Aye...
Let the young ones
Have it...
Let them play aroundÂ
With hearts...
Allow themÂ
The illusion
The importance
Of their parts...
Let themÂ
Break and spill
And Heal
And fill
For isn't thatÂ
The way?
The very thing
That broughtÂ
US
Here...
Screaming
Into day?
ThoughÂ
I do not search
For sympathy
I'm wise now
To the joke
RelievedÂ
In truth
To have no part
In mattersÂ
Of this life...
Or heart...
For tisÂ
Little moreÂ
ThanÂ
Burden
And pathsÂ
That bend and sway
And windsÂ
That blow down houses
If truth will have
It's say...
So
Let the young ones
Have it...
Let the young ones
Reign...
For life will soon
Invite each one
To party
In the pain...
Aye...
Let the young ones
Have it
Have it all
I say
For I am weary
And no longer wish
​​​​​​To partake
Of life'sÂ
Game...
Aye....

Hi MP
This is a wonderful little piece. Poignant understanding born in experience.
Well done!

Hi John...I tried to write it from the perspective of a hardened old man...I could see him in my mind sitting in his chair, smoking his pipe, taking his glasses off and rubbing his eyes in weariness. His words..not mine lol 😀 Thankyou my friend 💕

Ha ha...lol...unfortunately you are not old enough to be the gent I had in mind...lol, though he exists somewhere in my head too...hugs 💕
Hi Marion...I think from life experiences we either become bitter or learn from them and grasp a sense of acceptance. This character does not want to have anything to do with what he sees from his life experiences and leaves it to the young generation to figure it out as he is done with foolery.....I understand...lol xo ;0Â
Yes...exactly...let them have it...lol 💜
