The Cage of Words

How to use these words, I ponder, a fabulous creation of humanity!
Words set to hold man in the cage of formality, guarding it well from inanity.
Words that hurt, words that please; choose profanity or urbanity. 
But, the volcanity of man’s nature cannot be contained in a pot of morality.
This is the fatality; an unfortunate reality of man’s mentality. 
He dances on the line of variables tended at the ends by mundanity and vitality.
At one end he may sink into insanity while on another he may embrace brutality!

This is so clever, to use the designated words is tough enough but to create a monorhyme is brilliant, well done and good luck in the contest.
