Caught Napping To Age

The passing of time should be evidence enough,
That nothing from a yesterday returns to live as is.
The observing of seasons coming to pass,
Should leave all with lessons taught.
But so many are still caught napping to age,
With an unconscious bumping into themselves.
To make outrageous demands with extended hands,
To command a delivery of their expectations.
