Hi I Am 92

HI, I AM 92,I have
Lived through a lot from depressions to recessions.
From flu varieties and ebola, Sar’s Polio, H.I.V. And more.
Praises to the lord.
Daily he reassured.
Yes, alot I have endured.
Outdoor toilets, indoor plumbing,
A well from which to drink my water.

Hi, I am 92, that day you saw me I was alone;
I have outlived my children and my peers.
People usually Ignore me because I am
Just and old man, that drives on my own,
I use the bathroom on my own, I also walk,
Shop, and, and use atm machines, on my own.!

I have survived many wars, and escaped lynch mobs.
Why then did you come and decide to take my car, and my life.?

Hi, son who looks like me, I am 92 you look 15, God has spared me,
…and why couldn’t you? Easy,weak old prey, you needed a car,
I would have given you the keys;My insurance was paid.!

My last thoughts were if God gave me longevity, and good health, why couldn’t
you have shown me mercy;You did not have to club my head and knock me down. O' Heartless boy, I would have traded my life for your future.

I was tired, but now your retribution has been entangled
with my karma, and God's will. I who was healthy yet weary, was willing to do another day upon this contaminated planet called earth.

You let the forces of greed,hunger, vanity, and or fear allow you to give in to cowardice. I was 92,not much I could do against you and the other two.
I regret you allowed satan to use you.

I hope you get to be 92 years old on planet earth.
And remember me every day.
‘’FOR WHO GOD BLESS, LET NO MAN CURSE.’’
