Now It Seems That Moral Codes...
Are Things Most Folks FORGO...
When It Comes To Dough...
And Bedding Them **’s... !!!

Because Moral Tones...
DON'T Go With Folks...
Who’ll... Sell Their Souls...
Just To Be Well Known... !!!

Or Who’ll Spread Their Thighs...
So That They Can Get By...

It’s A TOUGH Old Life...
So Sometimes It’s Alright...
To Do... Wrong For Right...

But Let Me Check That Line...
Because It DOESN'T Seem Right... ?!?

Until You Find Yourself In Binds...
Where Things Are SO TIGHT...
That To Simply SURVIVE...
Has A Price That Is HIGH... !!!

But Like DARK Skies...
There’s Much That Hides...
And Shifts The Tides of Peoples Lives... !!!

So... Morality’s Nice...
When You DON’T Face Strife... !!!

Or A Cheating Wife...
Or A Husband Who LIES...

I Guess Sometimes...
That... Morality DIES...
When People Feel...
That They’ve Got A RAW Deal... !!!

Or Feel The Need To STEAL...
Just To... Get A Meal... !!!

This Life Is So REAL...
That Uneven Keels...
Sometimes... REVEAL...

The Darkest Side...
of Our Human Kind...
And The Kind of Vibes...
That Most DON’T LIKE... !!!

But When You’re Flying HIGH...
And Everything’s ALRIGHT...
It’s... EASY To JUDGE...
And To Tell Someone...

That They’re Doing WRONG...
But... Morality Belongs...
In A Place FAR AWAY...
From This World Today... !!!

Cos' When You Look At Governments...
... Congressmen And Presidents...

Morality In THEM...
Is Something That’s Seen LESS...
Than Greed And Impudence...
As Well As IGNORANCE... !!!

... IMMORAL Practices...
Run In Them And Their Friends...
Just Like The POOR Systems...
That They're Quick To Defend...
... Within Their Arguments...

Their Morals Lack Good Sense...
And Have NO Code of STRENGTH... !!!

Much Like Their Regiments...
Who They Use To Spread DEATH... !!!

That Historically Has Left...
INJUSTICE And SADNESS... !!!!!!

And When You Really Take Time...
To Look Back And Think...
Humans Have Designed...
Some... HORRIFIC Things... !!!

From Ideals of RACISTS...
To Chains With Links...
That Are Clearly SEXIST...

So Can We Claim To Be MORAL... ?
Or Are We Just... IMMORAL... ?

A Question That Demands...
MORE Than A MORAL STANCE...
When We Look At Our Past... !!!

And Where Our Futures Seem...
To Now Be Heading SWIFTLY... !!!

Cos’ All These New Technologies...
To Me... DON'T FEED MORALITY... !!!

They Seem To Be Employing...
Methods Now DESTROYING...

What We Call... HUMANITY...

Or Maybe It’s Just Me...
Looking A Bit TOO DEEP... ?

But That’s Because I KNOW...
How Life Can... REALLY GO... !!!!!!

When Things Get HARD At Home...
And Make You Search Your Soul...
Because of What Is SHOWN...

When Fathers Cannot Cope...
And Mothers End Up BROKE...
In Ways Most Folks...
Will... NEVER Know... !!!

This Life Has MANY Roads......
Good, BAD And Those In Zones...

That Sometimes Are SO COLD...
That It’s... EASY To FORGO...

What Many Would Call...

.... “ The Moral Code “....
When hit comes to what were apparently moral values, they seem to be being thrown to wayside with reckless abandon these days !
