This seems written in Seuss verse, which basically means it is accentual at four accent per line. Some of the lines run too long by a syllable. I'm assuming you included the " Richard III" quote because Richard Dreyfus played Richard III in the "Goodby Girls" which the title is a spoof on.
As "route" can be read as "root", or "rout" the rhyme with "moot", becomes somewhat problematic. I was pronouncing it the second way and so I was brought up short in the reading, and had to backtrack to get the needed pronouncement.
The last line brings home the conflict of moral choices, and how long it takes to overcome our upbringing, in a very succinct way.
