    Winning Age Race

    Can we win this fight

    this fight of life

    as it runs so fast

    can we end this time

    do we have breath

    to breath

    my life has been given a certain time

    will I enjoy it before I die

    each day

    it’s hard to stand

    as your tongue drags the sand

    lift up your head if you can

    life has made me feel this dead

    I’m changing as time runs out

    wrinkles and grey hair

    leaning over on a cane

    times ran out

    I’m going insane

    my mind feels young

    my body feels still

    sick each day

    I feel hope

    this not the end i need peace

    irreverent commented on Winning Age Race

    Facing our ultimate demise, regardless of whether we know the timeline, is difficult for most. You write with honesty.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
