Humans are scared
of becoming old
Being old is perceived
As a condition to be cursed
None loves oldness
It's against youthfulness
It is hated by resplendent ladies
It's an enemy of gorgeous goddesses
It is weird, isn't it?
In fact, all know it
That oldness is universal
A phenomenon common to all
Human and divine beings
Compete to reach everlastingness
To achieve eternal youthfulness
To overcome lifelessness
Science has not defeated oldness yet
The arrow of time still moves forward fast
Still unlikely to travel back to the past
Over time everything will be extinct
Hi Oldness, why are you so dreadful?
Could you be so beautiful?
Could you be so meaningful?
Give them your answers in full
Yeah, me, Oldness, is always thought
As the entrance to sorrowful plight
The gate to the kingdom of dust
Ending up somewhere in naught
Is emptiness so fearful?
Is impermanence so ghastly?
Is silence so frightful?
Is absence so ghostly?
Well, I'm telling you my beloved
You'll never never be old
Insofar as you know the road
The road weirdly traveled
Feel deeply the silence of a voice
Touch softly the absence of a presence
Embrace the presence of an absence
Kiss warmly the eternal impermanence
All of them are your lovers
So... make love with your lovers
