The Generation Gap

I am the Past
and Experience
is the only rudder
I can offer you
As you steer
your course
through the rocky
shoals of your future
You are the Present
a brash, yet flimsy
Skiff bent on
self destruction
And thus, it ever was
that Past spoke vainly
to Present, who rushed
impatiently to its fate

Great analogy....and so true
(As an 'oldster' as you put it, I can vouch for its validity.)

Very true words. We push ahead in misguided haste when if we had just looked around us there are hundreds of maps we could have followed and saved ourselves a lot of misgivings.
