Ageism

a pervasive bareness
walks like an honest lie
on the road to truth   the bone white marble
god oversees the planet green’s woes
a climate change of heart    its manipulations
its intrigues

something remains unsaid when i look back
i think again before i disappear between
bread and god    whosover is stronger
than me   i remained unchained  distrusting
the rules laid  down by  hoaxes    now i
am not me

i am not a god    i am not a thought    only
innocence of an unopened bud.

Great poem.......I am not sure how it relates to Ageism, but the climate change of heart and the distrusting of the rules laid down by hoaxes were great touches.
