The Ineluctable Ageing Scheme

By Jennifersoter Ezewi
We eld daily not knowing
Who will take care of us
Until the time comes.
If we care for one,
Another will care for us
Even when the beneficiaries
fails to reciprocate
Because we are also benefiters.
The things we do counts.
The moves we make presents
there costs.
Our decisions records our fate
in the midst of all.
Echoing the promises of our
deeds,
Before the counsels of time
Whose duty ensures that we
savour the fate we deserve.
Wherewhital our conscience
Who sends us on certain errands?
Will they be able to exonerate us?
Before the unusual timing
Who stirs at our actions.
The children we bore
may disappoint.
Our expected saviours fails
But the help we render
Stands the test of time
When nothing else counts.
They come as visitors in
different forms.
They come surprisingly
Putting smiles on our faces.
They come as rewards for
Jobs well done.
They are the now!
But we are the things we do.
We are the things we see.
We are the time and season
Yet we ask: "how?"
