Is There No Shame

Is There No Shame?

Watching as people go by is a joy I find
People, so many, of such different kind
Yet, over the years as time has past
Shame dissolves as morals die fast

Seduction has become a present fad
Casting away limits that we once had
Children dressed for lust as parents smile
While perverts in lust seek to molest a child

Butt cheeks hanging out for all to see
Advertising as to say, “ come take me”
Bellies and breasts revealed to behold
No regret as their whorish ways unfold

A young man’s hormones blazing in bliss
With opportunity arising to want of this
Unwanted pregnancies all over this world
While unloved babies into the trash 
are hurled
 
Sex is glorified while marriage is not sacred
And those who abstain are mocked in hatred 
Nakedness is uncovered to less than one’s underwear
If you dress different, you’re considered 
a square

Right and wrong has not ever changed
Values  are precious and not so strange
Morals are taught to keep us safe
Integrity is a result of everyday faith

A Lady in this world is hard to find
Who in our life time doth truly shine
Refusing to partake in this sinful shame
Protecting the reputation of her pure name

Gentlemen likewise have become very few
Watching their tongue and the things 
they do
Honoring the women as such 
precious jewels
Not being vulgar and stubborn like mules

Shameless are those with no self respect
Shameful when true modesty they reject
Shamefacedness is a trait of one’s virtue
Blushing redness reveals this trait so true

Give us those who will respect themselves
Not following the fad of everyone else
Who will break this mold of undue shame
Honoring the reputation of a good name
