Living long has its own fall backs
that too after sixty it s a tedium
living most of the time alone
while the husband and wife keep staring
there arises a vacuum very emphatic
and if the man falls sick 
the wife tends the husband
but never could she expect that
if she gets ill and lies in bed.
That being the untold verdict
of the community at large
where the male chauvinism
reigns supreme and great
however exhausted she be
has look after the chores
Getting away from this earthly being
very much before you turn sixty
seems appropriate and wonderful
as you are saved from illness
and the much condemned loneliness
I can hear the advice of many
bidding to get involved in service
which again needs a healthy frame
and a stamina sane
which again leads to the vicious .
Die before you turn sixty or even ahead
as you would not be a burden to anyone
the least to yourself.
