Poem
Age is a verb for opening the door
Into a judgement of the satisfaction
You’ve found in life, by its opportunities
Beckoning betterment and relationship

I agree that perhaps we could’ve loved more
But you find community in your elderly years
With others who also realise they’re temporary
Because we’re all human and have friendships

You get to say then your citizenship’s place
Because then you know more cities, space
Life’s view becomes clearer, you don’t cage
And your poetry is your gem in its meaning

However, we identify with far more groups
Than, than just with our older compatriots
Because we come from occupations, societies
Have hobbies, interests and sports events

And to say that we’re all children of god
Is insane, sacrilege and indeed very unfound
People exist within the worldwide population
We come from matter, plants and animals

There’s no land of Heaven, that I know
Universal common agreement won’t occur
Sometime in the distant future - after death
We need to decide now on ecology, wealth

I believe myself that you get more control
Over your life with age, you get far more rights
Anything that’s unusual like studying, swimming 
Is embraced as your direct entitlement, pleasure

And if you can’t surface from or cope with religion
Because your parents faith and prayers impede
Your strivings and attempts to call, express
Your interested, kindly, and quite modern estate

Then you can just let yourself chill
As did when you were when a child, you’re holding on
And you can show your inner scars and ablations
To your psychiatrist who’ll stand up for you

Reading, with age, becomes a living organism
Relates to you when you’re rough and spare
Validates those views which you formed yourself
Through your own experiences and observations

Authors explain things to you to describe facts
Extrapolate their feelings until you know
And so books give you context, further ideas
Because there’s others who agree with you

DVDs with age come off the shelves repeatedly
And sci-fi enlivens your dormant eccentricity, the
Your very breath is respired and heart is given
To your snuffed and stuffed imagination

Confidence grows at speed from within
As sci-fi haibuns transcend and come to you
Alien possibilities multiply and lovingly soothe
Your memory of steep childhood rejection

Also, when you couldn’t love your parents before
With age you can care for and direct them
Because it’s now more normal to do so, it is said,
And also why not? You can, so you may as well!
