Stand up for justice, but always do it justly, Easing conscience conscientiously. You cannot hope to render right but rightly. Means are ends, though unintentionally. One must be the world that one envisions, Unwaveringly creating what one would, Requiring that each of one's decisions Embody only what is just and good. In life I tried to be my own ideal, Careful to remain at heart naïve, Having a good sense of what is real Even as I lived as I believed Life should be, leavening what I must leave.
