Principles

The thing about principles

is they are available

to imagine

logical to depict

self serving to preach

yet hard to portray

by the fallible man, engulfed

in a compromised

unprincipled world

of saints and sinners

 

A true sage knows

the art of discernment

meditative silence

and thoughtful discipline

are the only answers

to stay the footpath

for principles are loyal

only to themselves
