We

We're born
We're raised
We kill
We daze
We never mind how we behave

We watch
We wonder
We sit and stare
We push and shove
We growl and glare

We talk
We boast
We raise glasses
And toast

We work
We earn
We play

We eat
Admit defeat?
We conquer too
We'll talk about ourselves
Until we are blue

We shout
We act
We claim to know all the facts
How much of this is true?

We build houses
We have families
We can have it all too
What happens next

When we becomes just you?

Old

Walking slow
Talking low
My face is full of wrinkles

I live alone
But nobody knows
For I have no visitors

Killing time
Watching time
Talking all about time

Remember when
Remember then
Remember me, do you?

So many changes
Battle of the ages
You won't even listen

Talk of days gone
Talk of people gone
Can't talk to who is here

Who really knows?
The soul that shows
The heart that breaks each day

Winding down
Thinking now,
Still grateful for so much.

HAIKU - Family

So many people;
Related by blood, not love -
Arguments galore.
