Expiration Date
Life doesn’t retire, just expires
like obsolete goods in a store-
fades into grays of distant shore.
Aging douses the burning fires
like obsolete goods in a store,
out-of date, like worn-out tires.
Aging douses the burning fires-
fading flames that used to roar,
out-of date, like worn out tires-
Old and not of much use anymore.
Fading flames that used to roar,
the King of Beasts in full attire-
old and not of much use anymore.
Deserted child without desire-
the King of Beasts in full attire.
His regal growl a softened snore.
Deserted child without desire,
quietly drifting, drifting ashore-
fades into grays of distant shore.
Life doesn’t retire, just expires.
