"Antiques" by Joe DiMino

Some old are prized-antique

Worship of the inanimate-

While many good aged
Are discarded
Thought weak (Socialized Medicine)

An ageless spirit's rebirth
When released into
Higher glory
An out-of-pocket triumph
For the elderly
Over economics
And politicians

The more apparent well-kept
Adding to an antique's finery
But no eternal glory
For such surface treasures
Never a status quo

As the faithful
Firmly all know
Of a spirit's
Quantum leaping

While others remain eternally
With that which they declare
Of greater value:
Speaking of earth,
Fire,
Water-
All
The
Hot
Air…
