Cheated from the flames
Hope’s by the bedside
Sanity took the rest
Success and happiness intertwined
Fame has become hallowed ground
Twisting Aristotle’s frame at the sound
Honesty a convenient truth
In the absence of proof
Sincerity, a soar tooth
Trials and tests
Used to expound your worth
Nothing but a mark of birth
Principles a curse
Passed by those on high
To the masses in the dirt
Sinners and saints
So titled by reprobates
Is nothing grey anymore?
Society, a noble word misconstrued
Where the blind lead the blind
The shrink is both cure and King
