Self Contained

Hank took a ride on the Taboo Xpress

A trip taken many times by you and me

How and when he got off is a mystery

cause these things ain't discussed in polite society

Bumped into a blind man peddling batteries

after he was granted his self release

Did riding the Xpress cost you your sight!”

Hank cried, “Should I call the Morality Police?”

The blind man raised his calloused hand

and with a toothless grin proclaimed,

“Loving yourself should never be a crime

so let go of self induced guilt and shame”

The Hankster took those words to heart

Now he rides freely with a clear head

Never let hypocrites jerk you around

or make you feel ashamed about the human you are
