When we can finally
Let Go
we should hold onto that.
Forever young is not aging wisely.
No gain, less pain;
less risk, no reward.
In fact, 9 out of 10 persons,
in their final hour,
utter
Should & Late
now knowing it could come early.
Anyhow
on the seventh cloud,
in the ninth ward of heaven,
I see clusters of humanity acting civilized,
some are sleeping, some seem to be
searching around,
feeling nothing and gasping
for nothing they found
was there.
Ten out of ten,
just held on too long.
