62 – Brazen with Vanessa

62 is a man past his prime, riddled with arthritis and back pain

62 is past a fool at 40, stuck in his ways and blind to his flaws

62 is leaving your children without a legacy and a stained reputation

62 is the number of lives lost × a million, in the quest for glory

62 is all the years spent suffering and smiling

62 is my beloved nation, crumbling all around me, but it’s just another day in the FCT.
