The privileged ones

A scandal about a man and a woman
In equal status is denied by the both
With vehemence and with a chuckle.
Sex endorses them as the privileged.

The unholy husband

A kiss with violence, she wants.
A hug with vehemence, she craves.
A thrust with storming, she expects.
Her husband, a knower, is helpless

Affairs are not adultery

.Taste for one does not bar taste for the other.
Man can love women in equal vehemence.
Woman can respond to men in equal strength.
To have an affair is not adultery.

The vehemence with which certain critics have chosen not simply to criticize what I've written, but to challenge my writing this story at all, speaks of what the book is about: fear of disapproval.

The arrogant are holy

The arrogant must choose a god
And must worship with all vehemence
Publicly and deliberately,
To appear to others as god fearing.
It will dilute his arrogance
And the people would fear
That the god might be with him.

In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents.

Rose

A rose is but a woman
Chaste, fragrant, prominent
Its thorns its protecting weapon
In haste to retaliate, violate

Roseate blossom is innocent, redolent
Wafting in air chaste fragrance
Crushed by anyone malevolent
Thorns'll pierce him bleed by vehemence
