INFIRMITY OF HUMANITY

energy zapped as we fall flat 

blinking battery low as we lay like mat

can't even move a muscle 

all strength taken by the life's hustle 

our tired is tired 

our strength gone sour 

our muscles cower

we are gradually losing skin colour 

we go pale, cream bails us out

we go frail, a smile upholds us

we go stale, countenance plays it's role

we go stiff, music comes through 

we are all weak

forget how wealthy you are 

we have all gone sick, really sick

infirmity of humanity 

if we don't retrace where we got it all wrong

let's hope then for a luxurious demise

for once our batteries runs out 

nature would refuse to recharge us
