Prolongevity

In the fantasies, we have seen,

creating a world of our dreams,

spending days with loved ones,

doing activities, having fun.

Never once, we consider being older,

or felt reduction in bodily functions,

for ourselves and close people,

as if the clock has been stopped. 

It's indeed a wonderful imagination, 

but realities are often disappointing, 

from common man to wise person,

have made peace with the situation.

For, there's no fountain of eternal youth,

every birth comes with an end point,

even the researches made conclusions, 

evidences seen for cellular senescence. 

Yet, there are emergence,

experiments done on stem cells,

reviving again the silenced voices,

putting efforts for the breakthrough. 

Still, many questions remain,

pondering over pros and cons,

the social and financial burdens,

dangers of ever-growing population. 

Prolongevity...

The tempting desire,

and a fool's pursuit,

to be a strong advocate, 

or become an apologist...

Through fear or rationale,

we would question its veracity, 

yet, I wonder, how much evolved, 

the future of our species would be... 

Having spare time, 

blessings of a longer life.
