Why are weak people forgotten in times of need,
Yet when others seek aid, they never displease?

Why are the advisors, the sages, the matured,
Regularly shunned, turned away from and ignored?

When the advised are getting on with life,
Why can't they see the advisors' strife?

Why does it take, the helpers to ask,
For a shoulder to cry on or a sterdy hand?

When will this injustice cease or break,
Ending the advisors' hidden heart ache?
