The Hamlets .
The imposed morals take birth ,
Either by genetics or resultant habits ,
And through the clans of time-worn sands ,
With Nature as mind ,and go on supposes .
I am a worried bachelor , with leased spouses ,
Like a mouse with junction of holes to roam ,
Or you Miss Frailty for your satiety groan ,
As if the Egyptian queen , for her appetite .
All the Horatios turn deaf ears ,in my mutterings ,
And the causes of should and should not confuse ,
Why's urge for moral's whisper , a while, is a standby ,
The axes of which baffle on relative priority .
And you ,-my ancient friend ,-Time's beguile ,
Bear the Cross on the Rood ,as if there is no difference ,
Save a hubris of judgment , born of blind ignorance ,
That the Hamlets indulge , carry , and get lost .
