Ethics

ethics mold our core being

our well-founded standards

embrace morals and values

and not follow one’s feelings

nor “what society accepts”

every equation has two sides

let knowledge prevail

Not following what society accepts... love that line. I just saw that you commented on my poem ... years ago. So thanks again.
