Tell me about old-age. What you think it's like, what it is like, what it should be like. Any style.

i done got old

I think old age should be like a new age, a new leaf, a new turn. You go back from whence you came. You start over again. It is a time of new beginnings in an old vessel. Retrofit. Sickness, dying, etc. Just like the media baits the young into thinking they need to be more beautiful, never enough, so do they with the old, but it seems more geared to the pharmaceutical realm. Take this pill, now this one to counteract the adverse side effects of the first. Oh but wait we're not finished with you yet.
