pride and age//

I'm older.

Does age mean more power?

More control?

Or is it clothes in a heap

Tear stained sheets

Bills stacking the table.

Maybe the youth are better

They can get taken care of (unless they can't)

They get late night adventures

Maybe no one

No one

Has power or control.

Except those who step on us with blood stained boots.

They take our homes, money, country.

Power is everything nowadays.

It is something everyone wants;

But I would not wish it upon anyone.
