Involuntary Retirement

Our world is embarking on a destination that is odd and strange, everyone has learned to fear age, Corporations are obssessed with youthfulness and the ability to be cute, They are shoving capable people down the garbage chute, "Involuntary Retirement" is what it is silently called, the intelligent are overwhelmed and appalled, because the victims are being replaced with people who lack quality and have no taste, But as long as they are young and virile, Good people are laid out to pasture as if they were waste, Why does our society abhor aging gracefully? Is it because they are so desperately trying to please "the establishment" and the advertisers who are ardent worshippers of youngsters with fluff and trimming, yet beneath the surface they are shallow and clueless?
