The Rights

TOP 

Pentameter and symmetry
Controlled words and art
Is fairness and honesty
An ideal soul and heart?
Be shrewd and be witty
To be funny and be smart

Is it a high morality
Keeping her in line?
An inability to lie
A gift from the divine
A whispering compulsion
To be perfect to be fine

If it creates a lack
It’s fine for us to hate
Use strength's weakness
To defile and berate
And to fix a broken ego
Find one to desecrate

When perfection is love
It’s a very lonely place
If mistake is forbidden
It is easy to disgrace
Love-forsaken memories
Heal in genuine embrace
