Oh you can try.
You can be conversational
matter of fact
learned
and
unemotional
about the subject
But I do know the why
the reason
the motivation
behind your attempt at marginalization
of what was accomplished
by those who worked together
to create something magical
and succeeded beyond all expectations
surpassing your project
but in your mind only
Those who worked so hard together
don't hang in anticipation of your praise
So they'll be fine
and proud of what they achieved
So, want to know a secret?
The others in the room
listening to you
know what you're doing too
and
in the end
you don't come off learned
to anyone at all
But appear as just a sad little jealous man.
