Virtue
What use
The cries of virtue
Of those who have never known vice?
How to trust those
Who say they shall guard us from harm
Who have never been to the farm
Or been the crying lamb
Or the one who does her harm
How can those who have never gone wrong
Really be strong
How can we take their advice
If they've never broken it themselves
And paid the price
How can those who say they never fall
Be trusted with anything at all?
