Protect Individual Rights Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

To precisely follow set
traditions an accepted
professed social cultural

religious rule of conduct
such actions are perceived
a model of good conduct?

In a healthy society such
behaviour should earn an
individual esteemed title

recognition as a good person
of genuine moral principles
responsibility as a role model.

A fundamental doctrine or tenet
is an agreed upon social contract
a distinctive conduct ruling opinion

a guiding sense of requirements
obligations enforce right conduct
moral principle is honour bound.

A fixed predetermined policy
a standard of lawful behavior
a sound law of moral judgments

decisions based on beneficial principles
ensures guarantees civilized society will
protect individual rights for benefit of all.
