Why Old People Are Grumpy

Why Old People Are Grumpy


Sentiments
transcend
into legends

of chiseled jaw
heroics
in violence,

or mere fiction,
if they haven't
already.

But the loss
and grief
are real,

and the 'peace',
our ignorance
of history.

No one left
to remember it
soon,

how a game
was played
with lives,

how arrogance
left all faith
ruined.
