Oblivion Poem by Ragy Sandid

I put on my glasses of old age
And said welcome, I’ve been waiting
Sooner or later I’d knew we’d be on the same page
With you stating and me debating

Somehow all that’s before seems trivial
All that’s to come more significant
Although I know all that’s before is to oblivion
I think it in my head it was magnificent

I got the provisions, I made the decisions
Who else was it but me went through fire?
Yet, like Eliott said, I still need some of those revisions
Why did I drown when the water lifted higher?

Now I came to a bridge and look behind
I see my fresher version waving a friendly wave
Now he leaves me with my body that I never mind
And tells me to operate on that which you had to save

So he leaves me with a pair of glasses
To see better? To see further? I really don’t know
All I know that someday I’m the one who passes
And others will come the day that I go
