Better Men

I think better men are still to be born
Unless they’d already existed before the recorded time;
If they lived, they must have eluded the lure self honor and dime,
And strove to nurture ideals honest and pure;
Even in judgment, calm in tone,
And their faith steadfast and sure!

Man's power is evident but he chooses virtues and values lesser and lesser everyday. A timely concern this is!
