The Gentle Dwellers

In my area there’re no children with diapers No young people in their formative years. People call it “a place of aged couples “ There are no young people married or singles, No grown-ups with their hope and dreams In my area there’re no children with diapers There are only aging and aged humans, Self-obsessed, pretentious, bohemians, People call it “a place of aged couples”. To the past or future they have no eyes, People are rather at home and homes, In my area there’re no children with diapers. No happy mothers bothering for diapers, To take the children around no happy fathers, People call it “a place of aged couples” Feeding and food worries not the parents To regenerate no people returning homes In my area there’re no children with diapers People call it “ a place of aged couples.

Very good job with the form. Sad that communities are built around ages. When my parents were in a nursing home and I had a grandson who was in infancy onward, I carried him with me to the home and the people there just loved it. They would all want to touch or hold him. Then when the grandson went to school, I would take the dog to the vet get him checked and make sure he was clean then a trip to the home. Most people would just love to have him there. Thanks for writing this. Sara
