Old School

Sometimes you get so caught up

in it

you forget what the sages say

forget the guy: work.

This is being young.

Like the way you bounce,

and hold firm,

have things your way,

be the darling

and shoot to kill

but hold fire on yourself.

You are always of worth.

Every hard won penny,

and tolerated ego trip,

so you dont trip into the trap.

Born ready.

But never their babes.

Infantilise this,

that faux power dynamic;

be empowered.

You are more than tits n ass

a pretty smile

a pout

tears of pain on a painted face

(metaphorical or otherwise)

you are more than a label

(or the)

[this is rock n roll]

Dont forget to update the narrative,

learn to refresh, live, lose,

remember what is lost

and who.

Take time to be community

without loosing shine.

Never give into hate

and always be brave

[...the Scottish way]

all tribes know the hearts way.

Now; be curious and seek truth. [Old advice updated}
