We are a society that prizes self
o’er all else it seems,
we skite the size of all our pelf,
and preen ourselves on dreams.
We put our Bibles on the shelf
and dwell upon regimes,
we loosen and withhold our belts
at sights of sinful teens,
but we wither without welts,
prizing safety to extremes,
and yet we claim that our heart melts
for virtue more than means!
