Exclude virginity out of your list of virtues,
For it is nothing but just fleeting flesh,
Exclude naivety – it leads down to misfortunes,
In fact, it’s outdated vulgar trash.
Exclude obedience – you’ll find it nowhere,
For it has long passed out of common use,
Exclude good looks and beauty, and beware
Of them, for they are now Nature-much-abused.
Exclude ingratiation and flattery and praise,
For they are born of shallowness of mind.
It’ll do you good to skip false eyelashes and nails –
They are self-consciousness well-defined.
Exclude morality and modesty and meekness –
As all these virtues have long since disappeared.
Instead search for a sparkle of uniqueness,
Wit, heartiness and wisdom.
And rest revered.
