FIFTY EXTRA YEARS TO LIVE

Scientists say come what may,
They can give us 50 extra years to live.
If you look at me then you can clearly see,
I've been dead to everyone since 1993.

Do they think an extra 50 years will give,
The walking dead a will to live.
She was to young to die should've been me,
After all these years she was only 153

An extra 50 year's?
Forgot to mention,
Government wouldn't allow.
Another 50 year's,
On the state pension.

If l live an extra 50 year's,
Could someone belay my fear's.
Would they be my Alzheimer years,
My mind seems to be toing and froing.
Can I have a Viagra with a laxative,
Can't remember if I'm coming or going.

Yup! On the one hand they want to extend people's lives, and on the other moan about the cost of paying medical costs and pensions for old people!!
I'd actually like to have another fifty years, but only if at the same time they can do a rejuvenation job on my body (and bodywork)! :)

It does seem out of proportion, things they aim for, peddle, and apportion. It all started with designers... designer jeans, designer dogs, designer drugs, designer futures and world systems....
