The signs

The signs of aging,
Dawned upon him.
White hair,
Wrinkly face.
Ceased forehead,
Squirming eyes.
Frowning mouth,
Chin that's round.
Broad but weak shoulders,
And two crumpling hands.
Painful knees,
Spraining ankles.
Are those just the signs of age?
Cause a young man face them too.

Higher risks to inner injuries,
Ex-patient of Covid-19.
Near brittle to the daily activities,
Breaking bones are a regular phenomenon.

Salute to them,
Our construction workers.
Only one rest day a week.
Keeping their project on line despite viruses,
Living in unhygienic dorms without much grunt.
