Elderly confusion
by Tony Channing
Tuesday, September 17, 2002
Hair thinning, hanging and falling
I think I’ve forgotten my name
Slowly but surely I’m falling
Down a spiralling drain
I tried to hold on to my sanity
Now they say I’m insane
I used to have such vanity
Not down a spiralling drain
I can remember 50 years ago
The falling in love, the pain
Now I can’t go out solo
I’m in a spiralling drain
What did I have for lunch today?
Was it pie and mash again?
Where am I going, what can I say
I’m in a spiralling drain
It’s 1950 in my head
I’ve tried to remember in vain
They say I’ve got to go to bed
I hate this spiralling drain
What did I do that was so bad?
I’ll never do it again
My life has now become so sad
Sinking in a spiralling drain

You chose a powerful vehicle "the drain"
to carry the feeling in this all the way home. -- It's very much a conditioned social perception, you know, that this phase has to impact all thrusters as disempowering.
Yes, the body is breaking down, but the soul inside has not aged -- how much import would the state of the vehicle have on the quality of life if our aged were properly reveared
for wisdom, experience and tenacity. In truth your presense is of more impact today than ever. Vicky |

I'm sorry for my earlier insensitive comments. This deserves a 10.
