OF THE OLD By David N. Donihue The stern ones we would later appreciate The soft we would later see as lazy or weak The angry we would later see as insecure and pathetic The loving we would later realize the power of their actions The smart often revealed themselves to be soulless And the soulless would later reveal how strong we could be in their wake The rich we only envied after we realized their different sense of freedom The poor we stopped judging once we lived as them The religious tore us down The spiritual helped us separate faith from its fallen propagators And as we looked up to the old who refused to envy our youth We feared the old who despised us for our youth As we knew that they had given up on the future And our optimism was like a mirror of their chosen defeat In some cases the old got wiser In other cases, wisdom had been reinvented by the young And the lazy become filled with empty formulaic advice Yet the loving never stopped listening And those of the old, feel younger than the young • 10 mil (0.25 mm) thick paper • Paper weight: 260 g/m² • .75” (1.9 cm) thick ayous wood frame • Acrylite front protector • Hanging hardware included • Blank product components in the US sourced from Japan and the US • Blank product components in the EU sourced from Japan and Latvia This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.

This dotted note pad is good for sketching out ideas, etc OF THE YOUNG Poem by David N. Donihue   The hippies later became selfish and isolated The punks lost their look and style and without the branding, they just appeared bitter   The Christian kids who were once judgmental slowly morphed to softened adults   The young converts did the opposite Shielding themselves from regret with accusatory eyes   The jocks stayed jocks with subtle morphing The joyous and boyish gave birth to the same. The insecure and arrogant split into a million sub-chapters   From those striving for happiness to those simply avoiding misery   The pretty girls changed on the outside Many remained the same within But some mistakenly let the outer trash the inner And the boys just pretended they couldn’t relate   The rock bands slowly but surely turned on each other Revealing they were jocks all along   Genuineness was once to admit misery And later the focus on the opposite Would be the only thing that keeps us genuine   Copyright 2023 All rights reserved OF THE OLD By David N.
