Differences

Being young doesn’t make one stupid.

Growing old doesn’t make one wise.

No amount of life experience

Makes one immune to lies.

We all have something left to learn.

We all have knowledge to lend.

Not everyone different is an enemy,

Nor all who are the same a friend.

Sometimes a change in perspective,

A slight adjustment of our view,

Can help us understand each other

And help us see old things anew.
