The Brass Years!


Copyright @ 2004 Brian D Roberts, Pen Name Is; Lark Douglas

When Golden Steps Appear In Life; The Place Of Age Times Thirty Twice!
A Generation That Is Filled With Strife; No Golden Threads To Entice!
When Choices Made Of Food Or Drugs; To See Your Savings Come Unstrung!
Your Few Possessions Vanish Quickly; Shelves  For Dust, Far Too Empty!
Though Health Be Failing; Too Much The Burdens Growing Stressed!
Insurance Priced More, But Pays Far Less; The Zest For Life Is Less Impressed!
So These, Their So Called Golden Years: Are Not Possessive Of A Lesson.
For Most They're Filled With Hardships Borne; So Look There Deeply Be Forewarned!
Though Golden More Tarnished To Lesser Metal; Closer Yet To Brass Than Level! Though Century Change, Situation's The Same; The Elderly Will be In Pain!
An Irrespective Taste Of Ageless Years!
To Bring The Aging Unto Tears!
