Oldest of Man

Oldest of Man

A Poem by Drama Child

 


Oldest of Man


Wrinkled layers, upon the wisest

Extremist of memories, mightiest in crisis.

Repetition in blessings, but skate Ethical to ice lessons.

Yet, preach too tender, to only grow more aggressive.

Age, how it lies, with swift evacuation.

Harpoon the angel, dance with death’s devastation.

Not yet, dear loved one, time still dances on land.

I’ll meet my maker, as the oldest of man.
