My childhood lies in my memory
Confined to imagination
And the influence of the media
86
Time waits for no man
But man waits for time
Eagerly
49
The refusal of the age
And the ageing self
Is useless and futile
15
Fate is meant to be accepted
As a universal everlastingness
Otherwise you’ll be dead
Nothing makes sense anymore.
----------------------------------------------
Be true to your youth
Your vigor and your couth
Your wisdom and your maturity
Your courage and your sanity
That is if you have any.
You have been exposed to the world
My dear
Through an ornamental kaleidoscope
And saw frivolous things
The past
The present
And the future
Mesmerising and captivating
Your young heart, filling it
With the burning desire
To take on the world.
Yet you have been deceived
Umpteen times
Allowing, forcing you
To change your mind
About your challenging challenges
And you grew up.
Life is brief,
Bold;
Summed up in years,
Artificial years
(Created by man)
Once you advanced in the years,
Artificial years,
Congratulations; felicitations!
You are old.
Regardless of everything
It is insensitive and rude to
Ask somebody
Their age in this world
Or better still
Their level of maturity
Summed up in years,
Artificial years.
Because everyone is old.
But when it dawned upon ourselves
With a sudden strike of realisation;
Where there is oldness in youth,
There is youth in oldness.
Because everyone is young.
