Heart and Steel
What pleases man whose hard as steel,
And in his heart, he cannot feel,
Injustice, injury, insult?
Hard as steel, with blunt device,
Effective when he needs to strike,
A deal, a triumph, a price!
Blatant in his way, he conquers forth,
Indelicate; but sure with zeal,
He’s strong, and he has won his worth!
Consider a man as instrument,
Delicate, complex; heart contends,
Injustice, injury, insult?
Sensor, senses finely tuned; designed,
To facilitate endless rules,
Be real, be friend, be nice!
Hard as steel can smash him down,
Indelicate but he will frown,
I’m wrong, and I have lost my precious crown.
