I agree with Keith. This poem, brief as it is, raises many intriguing questions. Brilliant, Frederick 😎

Thanks Keith. Yes, there is that sense of and room for freedom that is aimed at which gives much pleasure in the reading and ruminating on a particular composition. Glad to have struck a gold vein here.

One has to read between the lines here to unfold a number of truths. "Grey areas are for those who pander". This line encapsulates a good deal to think about as many fall into this category. Then one must ask, Who is the innocent bystander? This is a good poem as it provokes thought which can take the reader in different directions.
Thanks
Keith
