My ability to deal with this world
Is highly enhanced by the degradation
Of my aging eyes
Without glasses I can even forgive my own reflected image
It is such a privilege to see no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
Know no truth
Cheers to my long gone youth

My deterioration will be complete
Upon decomposition of mind and matter
A signed DNR (Do not resuscitate) order is tattooed on my chest

Every second since I expressed and acted
On the desire to end it all
To end it all
Is a blessed
At times cursed
Unwanted
Improvident
Burden of a gift

Got PUD (Peptic Ulcers Disease)
Got DVT (Deep Venous Thrombosis)
This world is cancer

No ROS (Review of Systems)
No ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy)
Can be the answer

The noise this world makes
The lies people spread
Are muffled severely by my damaged ears

Enjoy the silence
This confounding offering
Of a failing sensory system
Dimming as we age

As we age
Dimming as we age
