Extra eyes, Extra ears,
14th June 2022

In unsuspecting islands lurk
an extra set of eyes,
an extra set of ears,
wicked webs of deceit,
woven through the years.

School yard skirmishes prevail,
in the midst of gentle pawns in a rising sea,
I fear gravely for their future, I fear... for you and me.

Prompt: An extra set of ears.
Inspiration: Alexander Downer articulating Australia's
'intelligence' network through the pacific.
