Ethics is the Ultimate Star System (Thesis)

                                             Ethics is the Ultimate Star System (Thesis)


                                                Capitalists come, capitalists go,

                                                Politicians, too.  Their dominion's short.

                                                Scientists fade--there are new ways to know,

                                                Humanists date--new ways to exhort!


                                                The ones who last are ethical prophets,

                                                Jesus is going strong.  It's been a while,

                                                Makers of moral bases and soffits

                                                        keep their currency, don't go out of style.


                                               Ethics is for great, not for little, pips,

                                               In the great game of ethical regard,

                                               A very few people win all the chips,

                                               Admitting that reality is hard.


                                               It is true that ethics is not the same.

                                               It is by far the most unequal game.
