Obligation
In all deeds that might be done
The question to be answered
                 Is
What about your obligation
To righteousness
 
Regardless of the justifications
                Given
Whether by you, for yourself
Or by another, for you
You still have that obligation
To righteousness
 
It does not matter
How important you think you are
How important they say you are
You have an obligation
To righteousness
 
The power that is claimed 
Because of politics
Moneys, Guns
Or whatever
Does not exempt you
From the obligation
To righteousness
 
The desires and passions
Raging within
That sometimes overpowers
Begs or demands satisfactions
Does not excuse you
From the obligation
To righteousness
 
Though the need for survival
Must be met
You still have an obligation
To righteousness
 
So whatever the circumstances                                   
Real or imagined
The obligation to righteousness                                     
Remains the constant
