When Ageism Is Positive

How seriously we take 'The News'
with all its political bias and views
depends very much on our age.

The younger we are
the more we are meant
to part of the economy
which forces us to listen more
to the views of 'the powerful'
where the less we know, 
the less we know what to make of it.

The older we are the more satire
we have absorbed and the more
the satire gives us an immunity.

Until one day we are older 
than the leaders of the country
we live in and can look down
on their relative youth 
from our seniority
and know that the mistakes
the youthful leader is about to make
has been made in the past
and it did not work then either
