"Drink your life up boy"
The man walks up to me
"Don't sip too much so fast
You'll forget what you have seen"
Watch you pacing
Head down to the floor
Quite a load to carry
With the stories you control
All the stories you control
Head drops to the ground
He slowly walks away
I call for his forgiveness
But he doesn't want to stay
What did you dream, old man
When you were as young as me
"Boy don't begin to wonder now
The evils that I have seen"
What can we dream now?
When are life begins to fade
Theres nothing left to question
And theres no way to escape
Who have we become now?
When are bodies are left cold
Left walking all alone now
With stories left untold
Sitting across the road
I watch what you've undone
Drop your head to defend yourself
From the evils that become
"Stop drinking so much"
Remind me once again
"Indulge to much of life son
You'll find it coming to an end"
Watch it come to an end..
You walk by me slowly
Down the roads of life you made
Head left untouched here
As your stories slowly fade
How did you dream, old man
When you were small like me
Did you dream the earth away
From the devils you have seen
What can we dream now?
When are life begins to fade
Theres nothing left to question
And theres no way to escape
Who have we become now?
When are bodies are left cold
Left walking all alone now
With stories left untold

Nice write. I worked as a nurse for over 20 years and the stories the elderly can tell...Wow. I've heard some damn good stories. The title caught me with OLD MAN. An excellent song from Neil Young....if you're not familiar, you should check it out. Enjoyed the read.
Peace, Laura |
