Pride
Denied affection so attentively sought and desired.
A paradoxical conscience is thought into an acquiring.
The price of heart’s yearning is a fee of self-pride.
“I cannot afford this rate,” a man of wealth lies.
But a penniless man pays not the price of a broken soul;
Instead immodesty is cast aside without a token stole.
He accepts effects of affection gained,
While the rich hold dear to a pride correctly attained.
