Puberty And Dotage
Having tasted substance abuse,
today in truth,
many of the young
are wasted in their youth.
But 'God damn' only the pusher
you didn't oughta
as, without the doer,
the dealer, he'd be dead in the water.
One and the same, they're both to blame,
as off each other they will feed,
the former for avarice, a.k.a., greed,
the latter for a misconceived need...
if not to

Neonate to Dotage
“Age merely shows what children we remain.”
- Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
---------------------------------------------------
charmingly weak, weakly charming
begins life, begins cessation
toothless smile, baby breath, wobbling
charmingly weak, weakly charming
true babyhood, true senescence
depending, needy, demanding
charmingly weak, weakly charming
begins begin, begins ending

Senectitude - the Age Before Dotage Arrives
So you think you’ve reached the age of maturity
Even old enough to draw your old age security?

Everyone hopes they will reach that day,
Certainly it’s expected, that when retirement
Thoughts begin to dominate, you’ll lament:

That’s called senectitude!

In Our Dotage
What do you dote on?
Who do you dote with, if anyone?
"Dote" is an old-time word for ruminate,
to dwell on and within,
to become absorbed by and with.
Then there is also "antidote".
Let's imagine that our massive events and entertainment media
were to merge into an eventertainment industry,
hypnotised and hypnotising
to dote on negative alarming events
in which we pathologize ourselves

Dotage
The present ,so easily we forget
Our yesterday's,interred,remembered
'neath leaves of regret;
Often exhumed,wahed bright
with tears of delight;
So clearly,our days past,we see
For tomorrow,....may not be

Dotage
Despond,despair then decline,
Whilst wiser one recall:
Days are numbered for us all.
Inching ,ever unregarded,
The relentless timebelt turns;
Days are numbered for us all.
Reminiscing days of old,
Stories of yesteryear unfold;
Days are numbered for us all.
Here and there a fall,a stall,
Ever onward is the call;
Days are numbered for us all.
