Standards

Double standards is a thing 
Judge all the judgments you’ve been judging 
And you who calls others “unfair”
Will find it hard to bear
That you are perpetrating victims
Whose thoughts clash with your very dreams

Going and coming around is a real event 
And in the wake of the latter you term it “different.”
Scampering for whatever grace you could find
Arguing to the farthest beacon of your mind
It’s a hard and large bite to chew
When you yardstick comes back to haunt you 

But also sacred law is too a thing 
If a cord be a cord don’t accord it to be a string
Going once, going twice will only go under
Let what goes for the goose go for the gander 
Speak it in the air 
And act so just and fair
