Poem Artwork

 
 
Old is how I feel when I look backward
at things that I had wished when I was young.
And how I feel again as I look forward
and think about the things I'll leave undone.
 
and every single day is much the same.
Old is when nobody really wants you
 
Old is a place somewhere between alive and dead
where you wish you could go back or just go on.
They say that it is better than the alternative,
and who am I to say that they are wrong?
 
Old is what I've lived my life to become.
Old is who I am. I don't know why.
I only know there is no going backward.
 

Mark Sebring (Late 1990s)

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
