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
