Description Old man lies in a pool of softwhite
with young standing over him,
weeping blue pink and red.

Youth screams "WHY OH WHY,
THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ME,
WHY OH WHY TO HIM?"

Old man shouts, "I'm not dead!
I still float from the floor to the ceiling,
but there, I am trapped!"

Youth screams "WHY OH WHY,
THIS TRAGEDY IS CRUSHING!
WHY OH WHY TO ME?"

And old man shouts, "No, no,
I still exhale to the land,
and there I rot and grow larger."

Youth screams "I AM DESTROYED
WHY OH WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN,
WHY OH WHY TO ME?"

Old man shouts,
And that is all.

Middle age growls,
"I know I knew I will know."

I like this. It's different. I don't fully understand it, but it has an impact.
Well done
