the old faces


The old faces
Wrinkled on the skin
The passage of time
The old age arrives

Some can't take it
They are so afraid
The writing on the skin
The lines of wisdom and old age

This is the cycle
Birth living decaying
Once it is done
It isn't over yet

Some want to delay
The outcome of their lives
The plastic surgery wanting to stay young
The pain they bear it greed the game

In the end the inevitable of life
We have a fixed time to stay here
Once it is time we have to pack and go
The journey begins again

What we see
The bodies return to the soil
Cremation of ashes to ashes

The old shells gone new ones begin
