Old Age Poem by Asoegwu Snaga

Old age...
They say is a blessing
But still am yet to
understand;
Do they mean 40-70yrs or
is it what i think they mean,80 and above. I believe these count as
'THE' blessings of old age:
Feable & trembling voice..
Weak bones that u have to
drag ur legs on the floor
while walking.. Pains in the joints that u
take different drugs & pain
sprays all in vain..
Wrinkled skin and ugly face
that sometimes u scare
children.. Reluctant to take pictures
because u dont want 2 see
ur face, ur mirror always
facing the wall..
Sitting indoors all the time
b'cos u cant carry ur body again..
Getting frustrated b'cos
there seems to be no cure
to all those sickness..
4 ur info there is no cure! Are these the blessings?
Or is this phrase 'OLD AGE IS
A BLESSING' just a form of
encouragement coined for
people suffering from this
sickness called old age.. Old age virus can be
compared to HIV virus
because, in both, U SUFFER
FROM IT TILL U DIE! ..80yrs atmost is okay for
me or then i might have to...
