The time for your escape has come and gone
|
What kept you here save your own curious mind?
|
You say you¡¯ve seen too much, and yet look on
|
Where chaster souls would run, you glance behind
|
Have you no ministering angels to consult?
|
I have no power to decide your fate
|
The choice was yours, but therein lies the fault:
|
What good is choice when choice is made too late?
|
What good is virtue but a thing to lose?
|
What good are all the saintly attributes?
|
We wear them on and off whene¡¯er we choose
|
To correspond with fashion, end disputes.
|
If you should think to speak, say but a word
|
And weigh it well. No explanation give
|
To those who haven¡¯t asked. What has occured
|
Is nothing more than reciprocative
|
Events without a price nor penalty
|
You¡¯ve nothing lost that I can say I¡¯ve gained
|
You¡¯ve acted out your part adorably
|
And for my part, I hope I¡¯ve entertained.
