some scenes obscene won’t be unseen
our histories haunt us all in kind
memory, not a slate to be wiped clean
we are all captives of the mind
love can ennoble or demean
too often declared ‘blind’...
some scenes obscene can’t be unseen
invective hurled can’t be retrieved
be sure to say just what you mean
if you are apt to be believed
those who live as libertines
oft may be deceived.
some scenes obscene won’t be unseen
aspersions cast can’t be repealed
often a fine line between
what remains obscured or revealed
conscience inclined to intervene
whose lips shall remain sealed?
