As the torch burns

​The torch can’t be passed when those who should be taking the torch are more concerned about getting burned.

Our elders cry out for affirmation, but our haughtiness is deafening.

Eventually, their hands will wither and the torch will drop.

Leaving us all – to be consumed by the fire.
