Retired

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Mar 07, 2026 

Retired.
Peacefully 
retired,
set aside.
Greener
pastures.
Golden
sunsets.
Bliss.
Eternal 
bliss.
New
replace
old.
Time
immemorial.
Old fade
away.
New 
take over,
ascend.
Transformation 
at hand.
Old think
slides into
paradise. 
New think
takes the
baton.
Moving on.
Leaving
the old
behind.
A.I. 
did not
kill,
exterminate.
Simply
sedated,
made 
comfortable.
Out of
harms 
way.
