when every breath is a challenge,
every step a mockery,
age has come to pass;
age has set new rules,
the game changes!!
where is the splendor of youth?,
crystal clear vision!,
razor’s edge words,
delivered with intent,
with conviction,
major decisions matter no more,
just making it, that’s the plan,
making it from dawn to dusk,
making it from dusk to dawn,
succumbing to sleep,
with an ageless yawn;
is this all that remains,
when we receive our call?,
come now my child,
game over,
I’m taking the ball!!
you carried it well,
but now,
your journey is done,
you have become,
another setting sun!!
Prodded the goofy mind for a run, (actually a limp, 🧐😂) up the middle while I’m still able to “carry” the ball! Thanks for the read, hope you enjoyed!!

One of the Crazy Things Rich People Do That's Scary To Think About
They impress us, and sometimes they scare us, but the ultra-rich are always interesting. Some of their famous activities include buying yachts too big to move through channels, buying ridiculously priced cars that could feed the homeless of New York for weeks, and their expensive tastes in sex workers.

Spot on!! I felt this so much more than I'd like to admit. 😉
Oh, Moe! This is visceral and so well done. It made me tear up a little 🥲 You've weaved a truth into such a brilliant concept here. Amazing work!
This is so witty! I love it! 😊
Anyone want my ball? I'm giving it away for free, lol. How's that for dark humour? 🤣 Loved your poem!
You say what I feel so poignantly! Stellar thoughts and words! 😎🥰
Moe! This seared off the page at me. Felt all of that. Ouch. Visceral words there my friend... close to the bone indeed. ❤
Moe, I loved this by turns pacy, thoughtful and poignant piece! 👏☺️
This is fabulous,.Moe. well done.
On the sad side, but well done!!!❤️❤️💕
Well, that's a bit melancholy, buddy, but you expressed it very well. You're still a starter.
This was stunning, yet sobering at the same time. A reminder to count my blessings. Thank you, Moe!
