Scruples
Principles that govern
a man’s thoughts and actions
are often purchased
with unspent desire.
Scruples,
logical ethics and morals,
are high-priced considering
the value of pleasure.
A loyal and steadfast
husband to a frigid wife
mortgages his heart,
and the affection of angels
is his only
accumulated interest.
