Notes About The Poem

Compassion

Shifty eyes belie camouflaged avarice, seeking a higher share of family inheritance by employing specious logic, jockeying for an advantage. The seemingly dreamy elder sips coffee, nodding in consent.

discerning eye knows
recognising wayward ways
soul smile indulgent
