A Grumpy Old Man Poem by Maria Barbara Korynt

you are envying people
it, of what you
don't have
and you won't have.

you have this way
from times,
when you tried
to imitate other.

your jealousy,
didn't let you be,
pleased with
successes.

too much time you devoted
for preparing the strategy
fights against
the alleged enemy

now, you are an grumpy old man
and still you are lacking
what your idols had
talent and the God's spark

therefore still you are envying
and you are dealing with the other
people's property
with not one's success

grandfather....
take care of the grandson
maybe, at one time,
will count for you
