A Place of No Return

Recommended Posts

Old age comes to most,

Waiting to be visited by the reaper ghost,

Like in a queue waiting for turn,

To be taken to place of no return,

Some in often confused state,

For some, it seems an agonising wait,

Worst scenario placed into a home for care,

Sat in a room wearing an endless stare,

Elderly, retired someone’s relative,

Put in a place like this to live,

Killing time or is time killing thee,

Trapped in a body wanting to flee,

Just a shell the soul died long ago,

Feelings of despair on open show,

All bodily senses ebbing away,

Hoping that reaper guy comes today.
