And justice is a reasonable standard
For shaping institutions
And reaching decisions,
Since far from equity we meandered.
Hard-liner:
Why talk of justice?
Having stations and duties
Brings stability, order, tranquillity,
Three rights that are innate
To the human state
And basic to the sentiment for property.
Soft-liner:
Duties and stations
Won't heal the nations
Or realize human potential,
Till citizens' aims,
Grievances and shames
Are to the morality of all precedential.
Hard-liner:
That is a recipe
For encouraging every hippy
To criticize and modify institutions,
Instead of adapting
To the principles they're wrapped in
And to the aims of corporate organizations.
Soft-liner:
Is humanity an end
