Be True to Yourself

 
The chances of you and I
escaping this flash orgy
with our virtue still intact
is virtually an impossibility

The paper thin fragility
of long ago Sunday School morality
drilled into our fair heads
well before we were ever acquainted
with the pleasures supplied
by partaking of physical temptation

As the years accumulate
and the implanted guilt dissipates
we realize finally
the futility
of constantly restraining
our natural urges
based on an ancient second hand text
written by self serving hypocrites
and passed down through the centuries
by charlatans and control freaks

Tibi ipsi esto fidelis
