Youth:           Everything is possible

Middle-age:  Some things are intractable

Old age:        Many things before me are indiscoverable

'Twas true I didn't succeed
but myself I don't downgrade :
a single swallow doesn't
a summer make

I can't even
move myself
how could I
shake the world?

Even the most consistent
can change
due to the force
of circumstance

The mind-
the greatest empire
there's no another

After the deluge
a new order
has emerge -
the past
will be buried
and we
who have  existed
in that episode
have now assumed
the mantle
of leadership
a better world
a Utopia indeed
to create-

we must not fail:
the future
shall remember
what we've done
and said
all of which
shall be enshrined
in its book-
our struggle
our sweat
our tears
and our history
it will faithfully record.

The world
I can neither change
nor in any way save
but I can
give comfort
or hope
where I engage
and looking back
from the faraway
of time, I'll deem that
the life I've lived
is adequate
with nothing wasted
