We are looking forward to wearing designer clothes, shoes, jewelry...
We are looking forward to attending concerts, watching movies, driving luxurious vehicles...
So please don't remind us that old age beckons
Who's looking forward to gray hair or baldness, wrinkled faces, hobbled walks?
Who's looking forward to porous immune systems, empty purses and wallets?
Who's looking forward to menopause and prostate cancer?
Who's looking forward to loneliness and senility?
So please don't remind us that old age beckons
We are looking forward to dating, marrying, raising families, building homes, growing older together with our partners
We are looking forward to exploiting mineral resources, and often, other people
We are looking forward to vying for political seats, ascending the corporate ladder
So please don't remind us that old age beckons
Who's looking forward to being told we are too old to learn new things?
Who's looking forward to being told that our views are old fashioned?
Who's looking forward to being reminded about past lost opportunities?
So please don't remind us that old age beckons
