Notes About The Poem

Longevity

Longevity inherited?
Brevity touches many
Strong constitution cherished
This world without pollution envy
Quality of life is a favor ferreted
Those who desire quanity and quality plenty

Desired to live to a hundred
Wired to be one- hundred- twenty  
Life cut short for mankind, have wondered
Someday answers find, scripted plenty
When the whole world has been plundered
Will longevity belong to any

Vince Suzadail Jr. July 8, 2015 at 4:15 PM As I look back at the young ones lost, sometimes I just sit and wonder why. I guess time is relative to all yet still unique to each one.

Emile Pinet June 25, 2015 at 5:46 PM A poem offering quiet reflection on the essence of being human and sharing an experience (aging), intrinsic to our species. Emile.
