Temper & Love

Iratus Libidinus
Was sentenced by Zeus
To make love with everyone
That caused him to lose his temper;
Iratus never lost his temper again.

When we discourse upon subjects
Beyond the orbits of our expertise
We arrive at dangerous conclusions.

Primitive & Democracy

Historically
Primitive peoples assassinate democracies
And fester dictatorships, which then turn around
And assassinate their primitive peoples.

Young & Elderly

When the young take care of their elderly
They learn love, kindness, humility, and forbearance
Without which, they grow up to become
Reckless, insensitive brutes.

Predator & Life

The most pernicious
Predator of life
Is age.

Life & Meaning

Accepting ourselves
Makes us humble;
Liking ourselves
Leaves us happy;
Feeling loved
Gives us confidence;
And loving widely
Brings our lives meaning.

Aging & Recreation

We all used to be
What we no longer are;
Aging is continuous recreation.
