Out to do good, help the needy
My latest mission in life
I came by this old chap

Leather faced, body hardened by
the tribulations of a long existence
His eyes pierced not only me
but through my very soul

‘So you’ve come here to help me?’
was his first impression
I could tell by his glare alone

I realised then it was quite the reverse
So sat down without a word in front of him
