Don't give up now, challenge the rules that bind,
They're not very forgiving and not very kind.
They punish you for trying and then let you go,
for the rest of your life with nothing to show,
for the efforts you made to be politically correct.
Staying well clear of toes, to show your respect.
The answers you seek are not black and white,
and the ones who should know have all taken flight.
The rewards that you get should fit you just fine.
Find what you seek in between the lines.
