Weltschmerz germane to those feeling malaise

Senescence concomitant

and best buds with malaise

despondency inescapable as

infirmity ages formerly young gals guys

though age just a "number"

father time not shy to apprise

every mortal wakes to the

inescapable truth that never dies

each living species mainly

one known as Homo sapiens

allotted longevity not much

greater than highest

double digit which existence flies

at speed of greased lightning,

which passage of years

zip faster -- this strictly my

perception as one nears

cessation finally escaping

nasty, short and brutish

how to remain youthful lies

plugged by health

and fitness tricksters,

"FAKE" staunching

getting older decries

the science of biochemistry,

gerontology, kazoo whist tree, pathology...

though many consumers

spend bajillion dollars to disguise

and/or feebly stave off their demise,

oft times, yours truly (me)

doth not despise

the finality frontier, whereby body electric

ceases to function and this poet cries

against psychological torture of anxiety/

panic attacks linkedin to penuriousness

physiological symptoms

even with prescription medication

i.e. racing heart, chronically

sweaty palms, irritable bowels,

thus there ought not

be cause for surprise,

where salutary marital

bond bereft, when he dies...

finally free and clear

of Lake woebegone angst no lies

yet not courting danse macabre,

but occasionally sighs

pondering courtesy visit

qua grim reaper who allies

him/herself to every storied birth,

whose wish to live

long as Methuselah

an aspiration this
scrivener doth advise

against, no friends family,

nor lovely beau ties

remain, a near reality,

whereby alienation, I cannot excise

thus toy with suicidal ideation,

though ye might chastise

elusive joie de vivre impossible mission

to attain plus world growing

darker shadows along edge

of night with decreasing eye

cite, and gloomy prospect

Medicare maybe axed...

accursed fate eternal sleep

destiny or her her offspring

might hopefully exercise.
