Why Grow Up?

Why Grow Up?

This question is often asked of me

“When are you going to grow up?”

My answer to that is “why grow up”

“I'd much rather stay a young pup”

Growing up sure ain't no damn fun

To a world of conflict and strife

Prefer to stay young and innocent like

While leading a carefree life

My single voice is of no consequence

In the overall scheme of things

Why should I rattle my li'l old brain

In my world, it's eternally spring

Things will go on long after I'm gone

At my age my engine's on cruise

One thing I've realized in all my years

I've surely got nothing to lose

Precisely my next writing speaks of the same things that Jack speaks in this poem, the protagonist is an old Indian Canadian who withdraws to a cave to wait for death. There are always things to lose and things that win in either side of existence, living is grow, learn to enjoy and know to die with dignity when the death call at our door.

For Cherie are Good Morning  for me, Good Afternoon and I have to let the soup coooooools.

A greeting.
