** the unavoidable disease **
Illnesses chronologically arrive
The days of mumps or measles gone
The 24 hour cold and viruses
No more do they visit
At this age reached
They squat uninvited
Remain elusive to removal
Find space to occupy in lungs
Cause you to greet each day with a cough
Leave dull pains across body complete
Make limbs ache and joints creak
Lungs out of breath wheeze
Ricepaper thin wrinkled skin
Speckled with kidney purple dots
Heart a tired failing pump
Disintegration of body mortal
Time the unavoidable chronic disease.
