Whatever happened to honesty?
It seems to be on holiday
Or maybe simply gone away
Along with culpability
To hide in recidivity
In muted shades of gray.
What has happened to respect?
Is it baneful to expect a
Simple act of courtesy?
Blindness courted by degree
Unable to detect a
Modicum of modesty.
Will the well of decency
Run dry of staunch sobriety
Awaiting conscience to prevail
When comfort and propriety,
Standards and conformity
Are up for auction?
All on sale.
