Morals and Molars
to succumb to the allure of temptation
is to sink into the abyss of damnation;
there is no road that will lead us back
to where we started and be pure again
for the stain shall remain forever within.
oh, morality! many souls lost in thy altar,
well-meaning folks sinning despite you;
like teeth guarding the gate to the core,
either we remain clean from start to end
or be sullied, then fall off, unredeemed.
