Double life

An unwed wife, an unblessed child
A Godless state, a life too wild
The word abused, mis-spelled, mis-used
Since when it first was told

Taught to play it by the rules
You've laughed at wise men and you've suffered fools
Thinking fear might yield to good
When courage it must be bold

For all that you would like to be
It runs against your destiny
This double life won't take the strain
When one's enough to hold

The virtue of much lesser men
It still stands firm while you surrender
To peace and calm for pity's sake
When no-one pities you

For all…
