Quatrain of Poor Returns

Poor Returns - yes, investments
take time

Humans certainly don't live long
enough, they should be
authorized to go on
for many, many
years,

Even if the monetary costs to
keep them alive is high,
indispensable knowledge
is between their
ears.

The value of the older generation
is not cherished for their real
worth, the young
give us poor
returns,

If the world were run by the
youngest among us, we would
all be texting each other
while the world
burns.
