A call to duty

You

Old man

Come back to the 

Council  fires

Your wisdom and experience

Are sourly needed

Stand and speak of your

Adventures and victory's

But more

Tell us of your defeats

Reveal how these events

Tempered and hardened your Spirit

How these lessons learned in suffering and despair

Lead on to even greater conquests

There's no retirement

You of maturity and wisdom are sourly needed 
You have forfeited

Your proper place in our community 

It was always the "elders"the old chiefs

That maintained order and sanity in the councils

Young braves are good for breeding and fighting

But they act out of passion with little concern for the outcome

You have abrogated your lawful responsibility's

You have draw yourself  up into some comfortable death camp

To play bridge and do handy crafts

There's real work to do out there

The braves are all tomahawking each other

And your hiding all your wisdom and experience

In front of some stupid T V program

 Your greatest work is still ahead

Stand up and put your shoulders back  

Remember your most powerful moments

Walk briskly to the closest mirror

And look at the man you can be
Never before have you had this much experience
The possibilities open to you are only limited by your
Vision 
The great Spirit has showered you with abundance 
When much is given much is expected
Project your influence into your community 
Make a list of 10 things you can do
Your efforts will create more joy and satisfaction
Than the best paint by number set
