In his youth he was an Adonis.
Rippling muscles adorned his physique.
He had the V shaped body others envied.
He had the chiseled big muscles few could attain.
He enjoyed admiring looks from many women.
Now he’s an old man past 80, his muscles erased.
His V shape body eradicated.
He looks like he never worked out.
You cannot tell he was an adonis once.
Age related sarcopenia slayed his physique.
It stripped away his muscles and V shape.
As he grew older and closer to becoming
just another muscleless skeleton buried in the earth.

Murders everyday and everywhere
Unabated and unceasing
Too many dark hearts in this world
Too many dark deeds committed
It seems we will always have murderers
It seems some of us by nature are bad seeds
A blight upon the harvest of humans evermore

Bob Boyd

I have to wonder why everything seems
to procreate.
Obvious it is to advance and multiply
each and everything.
But what is with this necessity to
always increase each and everything?
Why does this treadmill of constant
births exist that seems to go round
and round ad infinitum?
Many never question this.
Many just accept things as they are.
But me I have to wonder the why of
it all.

Bob Boyd
