Multi-Tasking

Many men are victims.
Nearly as many are bullies
and some disguise their roles
by trying to rescue other people,
the planet, of not the whole of space,
or merely the economy of their country.

Some men, particularly preachers,
appear to take on all three roles
at once in single performance.

Don't try this at home folks,
instead save it for the public stage
-at least let others in their privacy
see through you when you act falsely.

Mistakenly

conflating discomfort with public honour
will cause suffering for no moral cause.
Such suffering will also cheapen
the genuinely moral causes around it.
