Merit has become cheapened –
Sold like a drug on the streets;
Valor is long forgotten –
Only allowed in fantasy.
Morals are tales at parties
To get you popular acclaim;
Pride that owns legitimacy
Is bought by money’s name.
I put myself into a test
Observing abdications
How I could develop self
Into real form of past relics.
Imperfect in near-prime:
Scrambling to keep time
To behaviors we were designed
To embrace as evolving humans.
