All Things Can Tempt Me

All things can tempt me from composing Verse,
Like a voice and seat in house of Chambers,
In this world of low morals and values,
I would deride lecherous notions and views,
Command that more compassion instilled
World peace! I demand no innocents killed,
this is a dream, a dream of a dreamer,
Waving a flag for a place in the Chamber!
man who lost his wife to an argument,
An affair that led to marriage annulment!
What values can a man like me propose?
My poetry is bad verse, story worse prose!

Sounds like you hold some great values and sometimes hardships in life make people better writers. Best wishes for the contest.
