One Should Fight

The draw of the dollar

Can bring a man to labor.

Whatever the color of his collar,

He will enrich himself and his neighbor.

But one’s self must come before all others

The selfish sense comes even before the feelings

Of our brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers.

Self-interest should have no ceilings.

The virtue of individual minds

Is the power that is brought into the light of truth.

What someone often finds

Is that spoken words can mean couth.

Morality is not a demand but a choice.

It is up to each person to think on his or her own.

Every single human should rejoice.

They should stand on their thinking alone.

Selfishness is the only path of what’s right.

It’s the only ethics for which one should fight.
