Powerless To Remember Poem by bonifacio alba

Powerless To Remember
Lapses is like a virus
That will invade the mind
Destruct the normal flow
-Of the activities to be done.
Forgetfulness is related
To the lapses done
Or just not in accordance
-To the norms at hand.
Man's imperfection a reason
To commit blunders?
But can this be avoided
Thru presence of mind
Living in the norms and values
And let pride out of mind.
However time will come
When dementia takes over
Mind powerless to control
-The twilight occurrence.
Lucky for the memory stored
But to subsiding perception
Due to illness and old age
Just a piece of understanding
That there's a reduction
Of one's ability to remember
When dementia reigns on.
