Fool ‘Em

Experimenting with ideas

That poke at your soul

Creating new arias

That make you feel full

Venturing into avenues

Seeking a better fate

Being just who you

You can’t contemplate

When the season rolls near

Others judge your work

With such ageism now

Expecting you to be hurt

Sending dusty labels forward

Hinting a stronger past

Sending a message

You will never last

Keep on creating work

That embodies you

Seeing a new tomorrow

In everything you do

Fleshing out new ideas

Building on what’s gone on

Not feeling entitlement

Just happy with what you have
