Of A Once Natural Process Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Ointments.
Moisturizers.
Facelifts and tummy tucks...
May slow the appearance,
Of a once natural process.

But a tock heard from a clock that ticks...
Does not stop,
To acknowledge any of these efforts.

No matter what one is told to feed and sell.
Those who accept and face aging...
Often live well when not dwelling on looks!
And those dwelling on looks,
Are most likely hooked on receiving compliments.
