Aged.And.Unwelcome Comments

I am also an old man and I can understand feelings of another old man. A touching poem.

A wonderful piece of work! My great pleasure reading it time and again! To MyPoemList

(cont.) ** Definition of club together British : to combine the money of the individuals in a group (in order to pay for something) bri ;) p.s. as has happened to me before, after sending my comments as a message, i tried again to send as comments and no name was asked for. i had NO PROBLEM! ....yet.

i just read your responses to my earlier comments, which i would not have seen if i hadn't forgotten i'd already read this 'title'. thanks. and, YES, a software problem on PH, ....unless individual humans are editing each poem with pencil and some of them are being nasty! ha ha. i've learned to put up with the deleting and 'clubbing' **. i would perhaps use 'clumping'. (cont.)

Thank you for bringing this sorry plight to our attention.

attention, PH friends et al. if i receive harsh treatment in my old, feeble state (like NOW!) , please kill me...softly. thanks, bri :)

(continued) .. i'll know if you tell me in a message; i don't usually return to a poem's page and see responses. i bet PH is responsible for wa tching having a space in the word [watching]; otherwise i'd think you'd slipped into some Chinese wording. i'd like to understand the reason behind putting in all the 'periods'. to MyPoemList. bri :)

(continued) ..*** noun: morale: the confidence, enthusiasm, and discipline of a person or group at a particular time. their morale was high synonyms: confidence, self-confidence, self-esteem, spirit(s) , team spirit, enthusiasm. (continued) ..

morally destroyed! (in the Poet's Notes) yikes! i think i'd feel more justified in killing an elderly/'helpless' person, sooner than i'd destroy them morally. ON SECOND THOUGHT, i think you may have mixed up morals with morale *** (continued) ...

I recollect some piece I have read, 'A land where there were no old men'! Your poem depicts such instance where young people go on neglecting elderly persons! There is a great social message in this pragmatic write! Enjoyed revisiting it!

What stupid people don't understand is that they will be old and weak one day and will be treated the same way. Very compassionate and humane poem Poets know Here it shows. Thank you for your kind feelings.

There is a hypocrite hidden in everyone of us; but to show it to those whom we owe so much borders on cruelty. Thank you Nara.

Very shamefully we have to agree that this is the prevailing practice in many places around the world...hope it will change...you have given an important contribution here.. thank you.. thanks for your comment too... my poems that I mentioned are prose poetics 6 and 7.....thank you

I absolutely agree with you that elderly people are often denied proper food, rest and small comforts which they deserve! Pragmatic little write that provides rooms for introspection to the young people!

Now a days old people are very Much neglected, nice poem

This is the situation all over the world, for whatever reasons, we are slowly losing the values that had kept us sane. And the people like that are not necessarily poor, the affluent nowadays will not hesitate to put their aging parents in 'Homes Thank you for the read.

This hypocrisy has become part of our life, not only in dealing with the elders, but in all spheres of human activity! We are clever at hiding our real nature and stick on to double standards! It is unfortunate that old people are dumped as garbage once their energy wanes and they become 'useless'. A satire on 'double dealing'!

Thanks for appreciation, Mr.Asuncion!
