Intrigued By Age Poem by Terence George Craddock

intrigued by age
innocent born not dying;
born only growing

growing baby fast rapidly

it is incorrect
that we are dying;
from the time

we are born;

we are growing up
our cells reproduce perfectly;
then around age of 18

DNA flicks a switch;

DNA flicks a switch
cells suddenly stop;
reproducing perfectly

we start aging;

we start aging
aging is written;
into our DNA

we flicked switch start aging dying;

DNA flicks a switch
cells suddenly reasons;
unknown perfection

stop reproducing perfectly;

who flicks a switch
why how did DNA switch;
flick on start aging

process leading to death dying;
