PIN-PRICKING CALM

Standards and measures
Of quantity and quality
I have have no qualm
But standards and measures
Of ethics and magnanimity
Takes away my calm

Who dare claim the cardinal points
In action, born of spiral forces of destiny
That walk us all away from standards and measures
Yet those caught and cuffed are banished by the tyranny of our hearts

Ask you i will for my will wields a curious sword
In a word, You? Think suits best
Think brains a waste if they cannot decipher the written word
And a man directionless if a bard is all he is at best

Standards and measures
Of quantity and quality I have no qualm
But standards and measures
Of ethics and magnanimity takes away my calm
