Il gatto e la volpe

C. D. Anders

The devils have no self-respect

but still manage to wretch

at the sight of you.

The poor and ravenous beggars

will never feast

on fine food or dignity,

nor will the wolves they skin

bite the paw that feeds them

or resort to clothes

of friends

I'm a pessimistic optimist of sorts. I'm no professional, just a feller writing for fun and occasionally commenting on posts I enjoy. "I'm but a stranger here . . . "

  1. Interesting comparison my friend. I guess we all hold a place or role in our life. This piece makes me think of all the videos David is sharing about the homeless. I just think but for the Grace go I. It makes one appreciate what one has. Blessings to you. 🦋
