According to this way of arguing, there will be no true principles in the world; for there are none but what may be wrested and perverted to serve bad purposes, either through the weakness or wickedness of men.

For Purposes To Digest This Quest
Presentation,
Not qualification...
Does more to impress,
Those of 'images' wished...
To address,
As heard professed.
And those confessing ideals,
Have more appeal.
Are the least to manifest,
The ones that are best...
To reveal as if on a mission.
For purposes to digest this quest.

It is from the traditional family that we absorb those universal ideals and principles which are the teaching of Jesus, the bedrock of our religious faith. We are taught the difference between right and wrong, and about the law, just punishment and discipline.

All He Did Was To Agree
He has to be the best magician there is,
If those who opposed him...
Now feel they've been tricked.
All he did was to agree...
To go along with their tactics.
With a revelation to all...
His original ideals for them would benefit.
How can they say,
A manipulation done...
Had been directed 'his' way?
When he took what they gave,
And added his signature to it!
