The whispered rumor says the ways of humanity
Rest on gold, silver, iron and a heated vanity
Doing onto others has become the golden rule
Serving takes strength, not the rage of fools
This sense of sacred teases in its appellation
As the best way for mankind and our nations
Instead, the iron demand that might is what makes right
Seems to be a feverish response to this misguided light
This then is the mark of Darwin and of murderous Cain
To follow this path, seems to me to be quite insane
Tarnished pieces of silver offer that we should not do
The things that we would not want done to me and you
Like empty headed goats returned to acts of commission
And finding themselves just as guilty instead of omission
