There is a sense in the fast paced society
noted among artists with all do piety,
that one has to succeed before a certain age
make it in the cruel world, reach center stage

So unconsciously, I still don battle gear
to greet competitors while I keep clear,
of any abrasive talk, and to take stock
of eventual artistic change within given range

It runs along with man who silently ages
substantiated by past and present sages;
better to keep ones head crystal clear
accept new challenges without fear.

What!, be consumed by the lack of eternal vibrancy
to lament the bodily decay of a younger man!
I choose to expand, acquire new expressions
to then observe continual impressions....

Not unfortunately just - dont hire, but the image you are soft, take what they hell is done to you, and become an imbecile at the stroke of a clock or the tender thoughts of immaturity.
