The Recent Is the Decent

Steve likes to control people's lives. He could hate men for their bad wives; Who tries Steve's eyeballs to death drives, His razor worse than twenty knives! Thus, Steve's trusted friend Jeremy Had to become his enemy Jeremy to face his army For being recently The Barmy... I love Steve's dead sincerity, Not his love for temerity: His mad thirst for severity And voice for dropped Austerity... Men should know trends that are recent And afford they can The Decent, Wasting not strength for an ascent, Where lies but yesterday's assent.
