A World Named Delusion

A World Named Delusion A man’s mind Creative and intelligent Mathematics, science and the arts came easy He always strove to learn new things There was nothing he wouldn’t try The world was his challenge and he did his best to defeat it Questioning everything, he made others think However, years past and age took its toll Grey hair came replacing the chestnut brown he had in his youth Wrinkles surrounded tired eyes Bones creaked and the body ached where it never hurt before The mind that was once sharp as a knife dulled Friends and family became unknown strangers He struggled to recognize the people who loved him to no avail The man’s history becomes the present in his eyes The dead come to life while the living do not exist Doctors, nurses and family try to help The man lives alone in his own world This is the hell in an Alzheimer’s world Reality that is not real Unknown sons, daughters, wives and husbands A man alone without his memories Without his life A man all alone in a world he created A world named delusion
