Disobedient Son

The disobeying son is a little thought for the father,
When this disobedience arrived and departed.
Disobedience had effects on the family like a pan has with juices,
Cooking with fire and tasting better, yet in danger of burning.
The one son obeying another man
Caused the ferocity of the night,
Exceeding normality, and keeping fire
In the throat and eyes, like a dangerous man using
Expertise for the killing.
This son disobeyed at the end of this awkward flap of light,
Morning came with peace to look at and enjoy.
The father felt incensed by the whole fiasco,
Enjoying the obeying acts of his daughters.
