After the nearly before

Before the after

 

I'm now nearly bald

once considered shorn,

like now nearly dead

not being un-born.

I used to be young

but now I'm not old,

like being informed

not being untold.

 

I used to be slight

but now I'm substantial,

like being skint

then becoming financial.
