An old man
Has a lot of nothing to do.

But doing that nothing
Does not make it happy-

An old man wants to be useful
Wants to have a purpose
Wants to have a meaning-

Even an old man who thought to be a writer once
Wants to write something
However weak and small,
Something -

An old man wants to do something
To feel he is still alive.
