No matter how hard we try,
Court
every promise for a constant youthful high,
Employ some cosmetic botox,
Surgery on the buttocks,
Try various transplants,
Face and breast implants,
Out of fear to suck,
Do a tummy tuck,
Every passing day gnaws,
Slowly leaving sagging jaws,
Naturally age will nibble at youth,
Some desperation’s distasting and uncouth,
Age's not really a disease so it needs no cure,
If you ask me I’ll say it really has no cure,
At best you delay it on the outside,
Ageing internal organs the blind side,
But the beauty of the palpable yet intangible heart and mind,
Can grow even through the years of daily grind,
Beyond the assaulting reach of age.
