Analysis of Alzheimer's Disease



He was exhuming
His wife's tomb with ease,
He was suffering from
Alzheimer's disease

As if he was searching
His lost memory,
His story
He forgot like history

He has no worry
To stretch his memory,
Hidden past under tomb
He couldn't comb

Alzheimer's disease
Awesome curse,
Lifelong dementia
He will have to nurse

What good is
Digging tomb,
When forgotten is

Birth giving womb?
