Quatrain of Civilized Man

Civilized Man - that's me

I am a civilized man on the
outside, but inside I
am raw and
crude,

You can take manure off the
farm but not the animal
that was born
rude.

Deep inside I make my own
rules, I decide what I
like without being
frightened,

My soul is rugged; crusted
along the edge, outwardly,
I pretend to be
enlightened.
