Quatrain of Not Growing Up

Not Growing up - happens every day

The mind and body do not age
at the same rate, many
times the mind never
ages at
all.

As the body gets older, we
expect mental faculties
to keep pace, not
slow to a
crawl.

There are far too many souls
of age that have the
mental capacity just
a smidgen beyond
birth,

They look like you and I, but
they never learned to think
for themselves, they
have no wisdom to
unearth.
