The Gnawing Old Age Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The Gnawing Old Age



People counted on are drifting away.
Trust in them for care is evaporating.
Siblings have become as good as dead leaves.
Offspring is wilting to be a promise.
Wife has turned a doubtful candidature.
Not to say about in laws, not my blood;
Anyone past eighty will experience this.
Fear of helpless death will gnaw him till death.
