Loyalty

Where oaths are demanded
for a place in the sun
and the labour of many
serves the dictates of one;
where fast trades are made
and fixed deals are done;
Loyalty – le loi – is the law of the gun.

Where gifts are exchanged
and the pure mind leads,
the heart with its wisdom
sows loyalty’s seeds.
