MY FEARS
TIME OF THOUGHT:02:30AM
DATE OF THOUGHT:24:02:2010
Indeed I gat my deeper fears
The one I will live to see
Not at all of the past
But of the future
The coming future
The unknown
Not of the day old
But of the old age
When my strength will reduce;
Vision become dreams
Kneels disengage the body
And all smartness shall be gone
When staff
Shall be my third legs
And the smooth radiant skin
Will be wrinkled
When my youthful flares
Shall bid goodbye while am here
When the hands of time will turn my children to my nanny.
Hmm, what a future to wait upon
When all my blacks turns grey
And my age will grow old
And turn my limbs to banana stalks
Hmm, what a future to wait upon
When the fresh cheek will
Turn haggard sallowless
And the time pass
Will drink my strength up.
