No escape from instincts

I pay debts, not as much as I could

But as much as I preferred.

I am honest, not as much as I should

But as much as it suited.

I am chaste, not as much as I desire

But as much as I fear.

I speak truth, not as much as I ought to

But as much as I dare.

No moral teachings will save me

From my instinctual drive.
