A LINGUISTIC PUZZLE*

I’ve seen the worst of humanity,
Within myself.
Within my fantasies, that is!

Theft, Murder, Revenge, Rape,
Etc., Etc.,
Only in my fantasies, that is!

Only fear of Punishment, Shame,
Etc., Etc.,
Keep them contained as fantasies.
For the time being, that is!

What does that make me?
Kind?
Moral?
A coward perhaps?
(A kind, moral coward, that is…)
