oops

Forgive the slip of tongue.
What I meant to say is,
we should die so young.
Before we get old
and lose ourselves.
In maddening selfishness
that comes with age.
Like the turning of a page,
it's inevitability is as predictable
as our forthcoming hostility,
that happens when grow.
I've been by my seniors,
that life was better,
when they were seniors,
of high school and college
and the world was new
and there were so many things
they could do.
By as time marches on,
we change.
Self preservation eats up our brains
and we march toward obscurity
only worried about the little things.
Not the beautiful, but the trivial.
Only the good die young.
