The old are a miserable lot.
Eight of ten are disrespected;
Six of ten are humiliated.
The neglected are four of ten
And the abandoned are two of ten.
The pity is that eight of ten
Do not complain to anyone.
They leave the world, casting curses.
Don’t be merciless to parents,
Which your children will learn from you.
