Reducer Of Man

I watched the old man,

His actions made me shiver.

Made me grow cold.

I thought to myself,

Is this what may happen,

when I grow old?

I watched him.

He repeated an action,

The same one he had done,

Ten minutes ago.

Seems age is his enemy,

But no.....

Senility, is a far worse foe.

That word - "Senility".

Reducer of man.

Seems to make you a second rate human,

An also ran.
