Saraband Sonnet: Root Out Corruption

The world today is going bad; The poor are poorer by each day; The heinous crimes can make all sad. More sheep are going well astray; More innocents are maimed and harmed; They take the lives of ones unarmed; Hard work is offered lesser pay. More food is grown but people starve; Most politicians stay so rich; A rosy world, the liars carve. Life's fabric needs a timely stitch; No one will truly take the blame; The rich will never feel the shame; Corruption is the nasty witch! Copyright by Dr John Celes 31-05-2018
