Hailing Death


 

It's true, aging is an incurable disease and death 

a pathogen from which there is no escape. 

Nature had no intention in designing age and death 

with malicious intent for humanity but rather 

as a universal type of house-cleaning to make way 

for bright new generations. Still, with age there 

is no especial need to log off the intelligence scale 

and close down mindfulness as one might infer 

is occurring when the aged demographic during 

this time of a global pandemic fail to notice 

that the dread pathogen makes a beeline for their 

interiors wherein to comfortably settle in and 

replicate in the process inadvertently killing hosts.

It begs belief that health agencies and governments

alike must resort to pleading with the elderly to

convince them to proffer bare arms to receive

a life-sustaining inoculation -- unless, of course

those languid minds are fixated on greeting death.
