Public Lust And Private Trust
Although it was contiguous
to the public trail
directives were ambiguous on the private scale
Although it was insidious
to the public cause
directives were perfidious in the private clause
Although it was lascivious
to the public lust
directives were oblivious to the private trust
Although it was imperious
to the public vote
directives were mysterious for the private note
Although it was precarious
to the public pence
directives were hilarious in the private sense
Although it was ridiculous
to the public mind
directives were conspicuous by the private find
