In Honor

And it troubles my tormented soul
to know that this world is measured
on a scale of dishonest value that is found in volumes
of greed and wealth of many and that the beauty of life
itself is purely unbalanced
and greatly devalued is the discarded innocence of a
penniless man
as he truly becomes the injured and dishonored one of gold.
