The Rescue; a Poem

Redemption is not straight and narrow

Redemption is not straight and narrow,
morality the compass always broke,
integrity the wisp of nursery,
the words on which we choke.

What is right and wrong,
the lines too vague to discern,
the boundaries have all but crumble,
and every portal is burned.
