Let's be old people in the old fashion.

A Greek man once asked another
"Should a man be considered equal to his brother?"
"Older or younger?" The other replied:
"That shouldn't be the real issue."  He sighed.
They streamlined the wisdom and fed it through looms
Now they wrap us all up in the woven cocoons. 
While my coat's soft and warm, we've evolved out of hair
And can't grow our own winter coats out of thin air. 
We shave it all off, whatever hair grows
Cause it's hard to keep up and it catches in clothes. 
But we patch holes quite well, and starting in youth
We're soaked in the brine of societal truth. 
Which, while still true, and warm enough for health
Just can't beat wisdom that is grown by yourself.
