Respect for the union
the trade of ideals

Regard for the thief
in the way that he steals

Reproach for the wayward
for sublime is their vice

Remand for the excess
regardless of price

Reward for the axiom
all else is ascended

Recourse for the errant
and those on knees bended

Respite for the burdened
through the fugue of task

Relief for the calloused
and all those who ask

Repair for the defective
through pliant cultivation

Redress for the arrogance
of human degradation
