I pledge to uphold lofty principles
Despite turbulence that whirls
In my environment where disciples
Opt to purloin my precious pearls.
I pledge to give my best shot
To every task I undertake
Although Mike in his cot
Reminds me to take from workaholism a break.
I pledge to put family first
Regardless of red herrings
That exacerbate hunger and thirst
When hubbies into a siren ocean dump wedding rings.
I pledge to desalinate my brine
As potable water runs scarce
When principled patriots decline
To sell out to a tragic farce.
