Quatrain of Moral Permit

Moral Permit - you need one before
you criticize

A sure way for someone to
change your mind is to
make you feel
bountifully
guilty.

Guilt can drive the rational
insane and cause
otherwise smooth
thoughts feel
silty,

Don't allow shame to back
you into a corner, unless
your constitution
deserves
it,

Yes, there are times you
should be shamed, but
not when it's used
without a moral
permit.
