To Those Who Rush to Praise Us

 

To those who rush to praise us when we say

they should do what is right in their own eyes.

All men or women having their own way

to live precisely as they would surmise.

 

To those who laud our liberality,

our tolerance of every faith, and creed,

and every sexual proclivity,

we ask the same consideration cede.

 

Each man the lord and master of his home.

This is the view we fervently avow.

If he be familièd or live alone;

at this they gnash their teeth and knit their brow.

 

The warrior knows how to deal with these,

who finally prove impossible to please
