From Birth We Are Not Dying: Until Switch Flicked Aging Adulthood

Rating: 5.0


what powerful verse will we contribute to glorify life?
life is physical biological matter invested with cell life?

life is animals plants but not inorganic matter
life is growing from birth till adult expired death
life perfect organic cell copies replicated sudden
flick switch triggers imperfect cell reproduction...

triggers aging process timed out DNA coded death
fools will tell us we are dying from moment born
no we are not dying we are growing up until appointed
life switch flicked aging imperfect cell reproduction...

we are not born aging we are born living from birth growing
until suddenly at about eighteen imperfect cell reproduction aging..

aging pending death knoll begins as soon as adulthood is reached
life infancy childhood adolescence complete we are aging sentenced...

Yes the interesting question is why to cells copy and reproduce perfectly through infancy, childhood, adolescence, then suddenly copy imperfectly as a death imposed imperfection. A few cultures reach adulthood maturing faster, like Maori and Polonesian, a few later, but the same tipping point is reached in maturity; exercise and martial arts have proven strength and memory can be retained into advanced years; we are meant to move, to think, to be active; even small walks of 15 to 30 minutes have been scientifically proven to make people happier. Fascinating reserch being investigated and completed at present.

This is absolutely tremendous. Aging is a sentence, imposed by the 18th birthday and very often served by those who either do not know or do not understand they are imprisoned. Each cell, a guard that holds a key....
