Is It Because You're Older


Is It Because You’re Older

By Brian

Is it because you’re older?

Does that give you the right to dismiss my ideas as garbage?

My ideas that are new and inventive.

The very ones our double standard mentors and teachers encourage.

These ideas can change the world.

These ideas can help many people.

Why will no one listen?

Is it because you’re older?
