Foundations

Approach every gesture with suspicion and every good deed with remorse
Approach every relationship with anguish and treat every marital argument with divorce
See every passing day as a moment and certain moments as a day
Treat shouted prayer as atonement and let spirituality fray
Approach both friends and foes with a double heart and never finish evil that had a start
Plant morals in children not deep enough so that after a while they part
These are the foundations on which modern society stand
And that is why society crumbles and never blesses land
