Poetry: How Lonely Sits Morality
Morality!
She was once an eminent queen.
She was once an eminent queen.
God-like,
all sought after her wisdom.
Everyone desired a slice!
But now,
her gates lie desolate…
Deserted.
She weeps bitterly in the night.
Annihilated—
Her adversaries have become the master.
all sought after her wisdom.
Everyone desired a slice!
But now,
her gates lie desolate…
Deserted.
She weeps bitterly in the night.
Annihilated—
Her adversaries have become the master.
Morality.
She remembers all her pleasant things,
Morality;
Oh, how her extinction has now come!
She sighs in deep despise.
All who honoured her now abhor her.
She remembers all her pleasant things,
Morality;
Oh, how her extinction has now come!
She sighs in deep despise.
All who honoured her now abhor her.
Consider her destiny,
all you who once praised her.
Today;
immorality is your lord.
all you who once praised her.
Today;
immorality is your lord.
