When did I learn to lie
I don't remember 
How old was I

Recently, 
I've learned to justify
Morally ambiguous behaviour
I have several reasons why

Feed. One good deed
Does not deserve another 
Moral licensing authority
Allows me to 
Cheat and 
Steal and 
Treat
To engage in 
Full-on deceit
Without internal consequence

I've learned to 
Ethically distance myself
Compartments free me
Your bias blindness makes it easy
My will always wins ... invariably
