Appraisal Affirmation

Blind from birth
A derelict tainting the earth
Lame, deaf, or broken
A weight upon Caesar's token
...draining provision

Voices, choices
Addiction, conviction
Taxes for the battle axes
Removing the Approving
...for lesser

Those who assign value
Based on accepted image
Will evaluate humanity
Based on lineage

LOVE appraises life
Precious and true
No matter what seems to lack
His presence is affirmed in blue

...sapphire
