Embittered Penguin
Embittered penguin
Just look at the embittered penguin
So bitter and mad
He curses others for what is beyond his control
Jealousy unbound ravages his soul as he bitterly stares at other birds
Not content, with what he has been given
Belittling his strength and enlarging his shortcomings
He blames even his own creator for his problems
For every time he bitterly stares at another flying bird
The embittered penguin would only sigh at his own wings
Far too slim with the wrong type of feathers
Perfect for swimming but horrible for flying
And so instead of practicing swimming, the thing he is good at
He would curse everyone all the while dreaming the impossible
The day those slim wings would transform into lustrous wings
Capable of flying past all of the other birds
Giving him the adoration of his kin
He would dream dreams until he could no longer even swim
His wings petrified from lack of use
His one talent wasted because he wanted something he wasn’t supposed to get
He wasn’t contend with what he had
So to this day he would stand in the snow with his withered wings staring at the other birds fly away
Don’t be an embittered penguin
Just look at the embittered penguin
