As the winds of time sweep across my shores, <br />Wrinkles and age seep into all pores. <br />Hands of clocks creep faster and faster, <br />Accompanied by illness, a cancerous disaster. <br />Of these that, they do attack, <br />My body's resistant, I thee lack. <br />As crumbs do assuredly fall from the table, <br />Aches and pain make life unstable. <br />Children send parents to rest homes, for the <br />ag-ed, <br />Like animals in a zoo, <br />All restless and Cag-ed! <br /> <br /> <br />2005 Michael Jeffrey Gale<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/caged-time/
