Old age

in en-us •  6 years ago 

I don't have hunger for meat
Not even the almighty swine
I don't have thirst for wine
I don't have feeling for romance
My eyes for beauty has faded
And I don't desire anymore in my heart
I look, but my sight is clouded in blurriness
Because i have come to the peak of life
Where age had stolen my strength
And my mind reasons only as a child
My feelings are shrouded in a bitter-sweet taste
Because they are a concoction of emotions
The grave is now the goal for my soul
And dust for my wrinkled flesh
What is this life for man at all anyway?
Did i come only to burn my life chasing wealth?
Only for sickness to prey upon my muscle along the way?
Only for age to eat up my youthfulness and manhood?
Only for me to get too busy to live and die trying to repair my broken life which is an impossible aim?
Or only to not never make a reality of my existence?
Oh life is an endless race between time and man
We run but never gets to the finishing line
But get lagged behind and when we can't anymore
We takes refuge in the arms of death when time and life goes on
It was in nakedness i came,in nakedness shall i go.
