My Humming Word

We are recycled teenagers
that this is the time to enjoy
And live life to the fullest extent
As per our will and expectations…
That we are not old people
Rather we are now mature men
So instead of worrying about age
Let’s eat, drink and be merry
Age is just a number after all.

Aforesaid and umpteen other
Mundane arguments and justifications
Are put forth by people of this age
A semblance of an age paranoia…
But what’s use in so pretending?

Instead why can’t they realize
No material thing in this universe
Is permanent, unchanging and stable…
Within a cycle of space, age and time
Every thing grows older and weaker
With commensurate changes to wither
So a far better option appears to try
Gradual detachment from worldly order
Aiming to achieve an equanimous state
For the eternal peace of body and mind.
