why don’t we honor the elderly anymore?
with all our new ideas, new ways of living, we reject all there wisdom.
we think we know it all, we think we are newer, better.
old women and men placed in care homes and facilities.
they gave everything they had to take care of us, raise us
and in there final days, they are alone, with strangers.
why?
why isn’t is societally worshipped to sacrifice for your elders the same way they did for you?
we berate mothers for not showing up for there children
yet leave our elders to rot without a second thought.
we wonder why our wisdom is fragmented, yet we cannot even care for and listen to the most lived among us.
our world changes fast, its true.
but there are some things that don’t move.
can we hold love till the bitter end?
or are we only interested
in the beginning.
