Intricacy of relation

You love your child;
It is equal that
You have loved its mother.

You love your grandchild;
It is equal that
You have loved your child.

You ignore your daughter.
Her husband will take care.

If you spurn the daughter-in-law
You lean away from your son.

If you side the daughter-in-law
You slide from your wife.

If you speak well of your boss
Your husband goes uneasy.

How of intricacy
Human relationship is!

How it pushes us
To be hypocrite!
