Temptations abound
Slippery slopes all around
Hard to know sometimes what you do
Is above bar, completely ethical too
In a world where lines get increasingly blurred
New money-generating ways get unfurled
In a gig economy, there are creative ways
To sell stuff, ideas, entertainment these days
The old-fashioned ways of drawing a fixed income
By working for a company have become
Somewhat antiquated as exciting opportunities appear
The internet-fed generation is embracing this market without fear…
*
Rules in this new era at times seem fluid to me
What appears completely legitimate could be
Frowned upon by some as flirting with unethical territory
Should you disregard such doubts or should you worry?
*
My take is that one should objectively interrogate
One’s motivation behind the action they contemplate
If there’s a nagging feeling that something’s not right
It’s probably not going to be worth the fight
The best judge when rules are nebulous
Is our own inner conscience that nudges us
To choose the right path, rise above our greed
Make the best, most ethical decisions indeed
Passion...unbridled 
Remember when you got paid for doing a good days’ work? My, how times have changed.
