The usurpation of morality's position by idols of the modern world. Social Influence.
The Third Commandment

Thou shalt not bear worship to false idols
God will suffer no rival it is said.
This seems slightly similar: no rivals
The First and Third: the same message seems fed
Perhaps: consolidating its relevance
Yet it continues, as though meant for fools
Thou shalt keep unto thy Lord’s commandments.
Further consolidation of the rules;
Although, should it not hold the number ten,
In the stead of this pitiful third place
Veiled in insignificance; won’t you amen?
Surely it needs be blatant, upon its face.
Thou shalt not bear worship to false idols
Lost in modern minds, and so the world falls.
