Poems about the old and ageing--their thoughts, hopes, pains and prayers. |
| LIVING TOO LONG: an acrostic To be or not to be, Harboring this one doubt, Every day of the long Years that they have to live; How much one wishes that A life different and Varied they could have lived Existing in substance. But, alas, they have lost Energy of the mind. Empty in heart they feel No desire left at all! Love for living itself, In fact, from life has gone. Verily they are now Indifferent to life. No hope, no ambition; Gone is faith in themselves. To be or not to be, Only this is their thought: “Old age is a big drag, Life comes to a standstill. Oh, too long we have lived. No more we wish to live. God, why not call us back?” · Written in 6-6-6-6 format · Written for ‘Every week something new contest’, "Invalid Item"  around the prompt: They have been living too longM C Gupta 8 January 2006 |
