Aging.. not so gracefully



Wasting time
like we have years
stretching before us...
Childish mentalities
Coming out of a grown up mouth
Threats
Not bloody
But power wielding
Bully stuff.

Nearing four score
have we learned
Absolutely nothing?

Inside, I am
My younger self
Strong and independent
But going 
in the Opposite
direction

I'm old now
Crumbling bones
Rounded shoulders
Moving along 
a few steps
At a time
Tottering mostly.
Age is a strength destroyer
Pain is worse
It consumes me...
Making most everything
Irrelevant.

Where do I go from here?
How do I get there?
Even my cane only supports me
Sometimes
