Notes About The Poem

" VICE AND VIRTUE " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower and nature

Corrosion

As a drop of acid destroys a fabric of excellent quality

So a vice may corrode the character of a virtuous man!

So very true Demetrios, once the corrosion starts it becomes a slippery slope. Tom

Yes, my friend, Tom. If it happens, it is the end of virtue for that person! Thank you for your kind visit! Blessings
