We Old Men
We are furious, so much promised!
They lied. We never had a chance.
Youth left us with broken vows
at the altar alone in a trance.
Great grand kids
I never even met,
maybe tomorrow
I won't make a bet.
Old dogs just barking
angels are harking
in our deaths we live
still trying to forgive.
