Why does grandpa always look angry?

UNLIKELY SOURCE

The long arm of the law,
The law of self
Deprecation.
Far reaching
And strong.
I have run from dreams
And love
Many times
In fear of wandering
Like the sour faced overseer.
Blue hearted
Whose presence stopped even the wind.
Speechless hate
An aura of drainage.
What is a worthy cause old man?
A life well lived
Seems a fable
To these sore eyes;
Smoked and burning
From a camp never broken.
I still must learn
From you.
