"Admirable beacon of rectitude." 
A great sounding epithet said of me 
You think? That depends on whose point of view. 
It's like the fruit of a poisonous tree. 
It looks harmless, nonetheless toxic. 
It can be said for the appellation. 
Sounds great yet often a vitriolic 
Mean-spirited, misinterpretation. 
The interpretation? Self-righteousness 
In the meanest, cruelest sense of the word. 
I live a moral code nevertheless 
In spite of the consensus of the herd. 
If I'm a single lighthouse on the coast 
Expect of me examples from this post.
