We're all on the same one-way street. Irrespective of the plethora of advice supposedly keeping us healthier for longer, humans have an expiry date.
Managed Disintegration
I’ve nee idea the year it started,
an early sign was 40+ folk being kind,
then the morning niggles were observed,
head to toe and front to behind.
The niggles then started to move,
from pain in the neck on a Monday,
to a knife cutting a groove,
in your bum on Tuesday.
The media then dive in, to compound,
referring to the history of ‘93,
hammering of coffin nails, the sound,
cos' I was a youth of 43.
What else could gan wrong,
cataracts, diabetes and deafness,
it depends if time left is long,
will we be described as useless.
If the government gets its way,
hell will follow good intentions,
will the state decide the day,
to administer the euthanising injections.
Is over forty years of contributing and toil,
destined to be for nought,
while we see super rich from media and oil,
worshipped for the crap they bought.
So we may be wrinkled and unsteady,
a bit slower in vocabulary and fashions,
but remember we (who) sluiced your nappy,
and got you through life’s tribulations.
