Imaginary Immortality

The Peter Pan concept
of Forever staying young
any way you look at it
His story is far flung

The notions pretty good
But only so in dreams
If only it was true in life
Pipe-dream's all it seems

In this Scientific age
of Stem Cell Research
Can we Live Forever?
In a Bio-Chemical lurch?

Suspended in Time
Frozen in a Fridge
Waiting for a Cure-all
or immortality Bridge

The eternal youth one
You think will come to pass
Where you can be reborn
but its only just a farce

Meat can't stay in a Freezer
Any longer then it should
imagine the state of you
If you think that you could

Hope always springs Eternal
You can't change Natures way
You can't even argue with Her
She has the Final Say!
