Gerontology*

Sitting in the car and thinking…maybe wrongly,
Youth cannot identify
With one, who eighty-one or two
Is me - or you;
The age non-real,
Too far away to feel.
Sadly,
Doctors too: your doctor, my…
So many symptoms pass them by.
The pity is, it’s we who sigh, or cry…or die.
We, who do the main research,
Left in the lurch
To crouch in front of the computer,
For we must,
There being none to trust
Except for God,
Who, just and boss
Is first in charge of  soul and loss,
Age and body,

We need doctors eager, sage,
Whose zeal is aimed at us: the aged:
Who burn to, yearn to heal, engage
The living old,
For theirs and they
Will be join the white-haired fold
One day.

*Gerontology
the scientific study of old age, the process of ageing, and the particular problems of old people.

Gerontology

Sitting in the car
Mulling over near and far,
There, and what is definitely here:

Youth cannot envision eighty-two.  
Doctors too. They cannot ‘feel’ eighty-two:
Your doctor, my…
So many symptoms pass them by.
‘Tis pity, for ‘tis I who suffer,
I, who faced with ebb and tide analyze,
Use the self through trial and t-error;
I, who ponder, for I must,
There being no one I dare trust -
(Except for deity unseen
Who has the charge of body mine)

Geron (Greek for old man) –ology (the study of)
Is what is needed, given that
The young can never feel out
Time’s dealing out.

Apprentice doctors in their prime
Should get to know the facts of age,
The pages, wages of real life,
For theory is theory
Until you get there by yourself.

With visits by appointment only,
This is the die that disappoints
(The lie that also disappoints) when I,
Life’s force in slow decline
Am looking for relief.

Nonetheless, geron (Greek for old man)
Plus –ology (the study of)
Is what is needed in our time,
Oxymoron though it sounds, and given that
The young can never feel out
Time’s dealing out,
Apprentice doctors in their prime
Should get to know the facts of age,
The pages, wages of real life,
For theory is theory,
A fact that disappoints me
Visit after visit,
Closeted by slow decline
When I am looking for relief.

"My advice as an old man to you is this: do not listen to the advice of old people."
Antonio Machado.


Decay, dismay — untouchable, revered!
Gerontology to this world is near
To political science, in its way:
The clueless stumps still hold the sway.

By stepping stones of sordid deeds,
They walk as though on water's sheet.
Submission to their whims proceeds —
In servile worlds, the meek compete.

They crawled up Misery's lofty *****,
The sycophants now crowned as kings.
For scoundrels rule the foolish folk,
Those elders fake, their lies still cling.

This broken world, in madness steeped,
Deserves the "monarchs" it has crowned.
Despair is left for souls who weep,
The rare sane minds where fools abound.


In Russian:

Геронтрологическая политология

"Мой старческий совет таков:
Не слушайте советы стариков".
Антонио Мачадо.


Маразм, сарказм, не тронь — кумиры!
Геронтрология для мира
С политологией сродни,
Ведь правят им тупые пни,

Прошедшие по компромата
Ступеням словно по воде.
Им подчиняться всюду надо —
Рабы в мирке всегда в цене.

Они и сами холуйками
Взошли на Мерзости Олимп,
Ведь нелюдь правит дураками —
Те старики обманка. Влип

В идиотизм мирок убогий
И заслужил таких "царьков".
Отчаянье удел немногих
Разумных между дураков.
