we’ve only got one shot in life,
that’s what they say
yet, there’s new research
to keep you going
for maybe 200 years
by slowing down the aging gene
after all, it’s successful with round worms
wow, 200 years on this planet?
you’ve got to be kidding, right?
wouldn’t that be a cruel joke?
can any brain endure such abuse?
can any soul absorb so much beauty?
one shot, is that it?
isn’t there some grand mystery
after that shot is over?
me thinks mr.apple,
grand innovator inquisitor,
got it right
after all, his dying words were,
“oh wow, oh wow, oh wow”

"oh wow, oh wow, oh wow" = "ram, ram, ram."

Yes, I believe in life after death and I don't believe it's an option: The soul DOES live on. And, like many, I believe that our choices here determine what's to be experienced on the other side of the veil - call it heaven, hell, nirvana, karma, rebirth, reincarnation... we'll get our dues. And not based on "works", I don't think, but on an objective Truth - but what is it? The Man with the Blueprint knows and it's up to us to find out...

... all I can say is, we ain't seen nothin yet, Bro! :)) xx

up to buy the elixir..just hoping
as a ninety-nine percenter it'll
not come to pass in my time...that
death isn't an option is the best weapon
humility has.
Strong one, Jude.

I am optimistic that we will transform ourselves within this century when faced with the perils of our excess and learn, like we always have, how to survive and prosper without having to be greedy and carnivorous.
By the way, as far as I know the human lifespan is set at about 120. Roundworms, koy, and tortoises may have longer lifespans that can be manipulated, but I doubt it.

A cruel joke indeed, especially for someone like me, who now mourns our modern day loss of respect for all life, every day now.

I share your sentiments!
Seem that in this society, age and death is a failure.
Much depth in this poem. The worms have the last laugh any how.
Well irrespective of age, one thing I'm sure of is that these bodies, whether young or old, house ageless souls!
But on another note, living fully is what matters to me, and I don't want to grow so old that I can't live with energy and aliveness.
I really don't want to live for 200 years, too much for a soul to take, I would rather come back and do this over again and again, learning more and more each time till maybe I get it right finally...
As always your poetry is mind altering and soul searching.
Much peace, light, and love,
Amber
Anyway, researchers never always right,
just think of the well blessed Methuselah,
Who lived 969 years and he died. (Genesis 5: 28)
No one will live above that!
I think he was awing at his surroundings
as he exit, this pit stop
on his way to paradise.
Peace be with you......
