Old man taking a stroll on a sunny morning.
Pack of young kids follow him, challenge him to a fight.
Old man, too old and too sick to defend himself, refuses.
Pack of young kids attack and batter him to the ground.
Miracuously, the old man survives but hospitalized.
Pack of thugs in the making considered him fair game.
Old people now face more random attacks and robberies.
Whatever happened to respect for the elderly?

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
