Rectitude

Don’t talk to me of rectitude

Such a construct can’t exist

Who’s to say what’s in the rules;

How our lives should all be lived?

 

It’s our personal decision

What’s wrong and what is right

No stonewall indiscretion

It’s not written in black and white

 

It’s not for you to judge me

Force me to feel any god’s wrath

It’s not for you to push me

To follow your ‘righteous path’

 

I live my life by a set of rules

That I made to only ever be mine

So don’t talk to me of rectitude

That exists only in your own mind
