Beware Poem by Ezio Olubelleau

This epigram delivers a sharp, quick, and rather concise warning to the reader. In a bustling town square, a cobbler tends to the market women. Amongst the crowd is a farmer seeking justice for his stolen crops. He approaches the women. The cobbler, with unknown intentions, quickly rests his hand by the hilt of his knife. Observing this, an onlooker curiously issues a hushed warning to the farmer, whispering, 'A knife rests by the cobbler's waist. Beware.'
