SANCTITY

Trading chastity for a dime

Dogmatic audacity for a rhyme

Pimping vanity for a mime

Brutal insanity for a thyme

Selling veracity for a prime

I need to keep my sanctity

 

Trading amity for a dime

Humping sanity for a crime

Hailing mendacity for a good time

Insane profanity for a chime

Consuming fatality for a grime

I need to keep my sanctity

 

Trading quality for a lime

Complacent banality for a rhyme

Un-candid gravity for a slime

Good morality must be exchanged for the crime

Human taciturn pushed to curb the acrid horrid grime

This way or that, I need to keep my sanctity
