old man
can not compete with the young
and life is anyways a race
on a bumpy dusty way
so take it easy
and retire to a rocking chair
on the terrace
and watch little birds
in the tree
spread today's newspaper
in your lap
see the obituaries on page No 2
and thank your Lord
for one more day

precise and lucid... Apparently the poem seems plain but it's very deep and thought provoking.
thanks Jibraan
