Age Barrier
by
Solomon Machardson
The age gulf
is a natural barrier
Between youth and the aged.
Just as you cannot remove the Alps
So can you not remove the age barrier.
Children cannot be one with age
They have their age mates
With whom they play and fight
Just as the old have had their age mates too.
Gifts cannot undo age barrier:
It cannot turn age into youth,
Memory into adventure,
Experience into innocence.
Just as the die cast cannot be un-cast,
The flow of the river cannot be reversed,
And the clock of time cannot be unwound,
So, life lived cannot be unlived.
Just as a guinea fowl and his bald head
Can never be parted,
So youth and adventure
And age and leisure, cannot be parted.
