New Age Elderly Woman

So...

We have become the hot topic,

of your conversation.

Through the grapevine heard,

all the accusations

of losing our mind aping

your generation.

Why...

'cause we refuse to be pigeonholed,

into your imagination,

of how we should conduct ourselves,

at the end of life season.

And..

You drew up this image,

of the aged woman,

feeding, changing diapers,

of grandchildren.

Singing nursery rhymes,

pushing perambulators in parks,

as only entertainment,

while you take conference calls

24/7 to get that plum position!

Nah!...

You are grossly mistaken.

The new age elderly women,

wants to live independent.

Travel when they want, to any destination,

cares a hoot about criticism leveled,

against her tastes in clothes, food,

even acquiring a male companion.

It's her life, she wants to live optimal,

who are you millennials to confine

her within "Lakshman Rekha" you drew

to suit your own convenience?
