Second Childhood

I am a child again I know no loss or gain Oft oblivious of pain Till I conscious regain. Do I wake or sleep, I see the stars weep As they crackers peep, Am I awake or asleep? I giggle and lauugh at the sight Of rockets of music Fountains bright Alzmiers benumbs my plight Yet I have heavenly insight. No need of ball or satchel My grandchildren play beetle Climates hot or cold lethal Our food comes from hotel. Thunder lightning and rain Sounds of toppling towers reign Sky is filled with smoke and sign Of corpses and mutilated mein. Tear glands are dried up Once I fell to get up With ease I sat up Fell me, I'll not get up. I see my saviour's Rood Crushing the Serpent's hood With words of hope does He feed Breaking not the bent Reed ! I go out in hood My strength is not good Wobbles the ground I stood Is it second childhood ?

This poem beautifully encapsulates the journey through life's various stages, exploring the contrasts between the innocence of childhood and the complexities of aging. The simplicity of the language mirrors the uncomplicated perspective of a child, providing a stark contrast to the deeper reflections and observations of an older individual... Enjoyed your poem..
