Sonnet: The World Nowadays

The rich are turning richer day by day; A cruel world, the innocents must face; The poor are poorer living in dismay; A corrupt world remains corrupt always. Commands of God are seldom carried out; Terrorists, extremists are sprouting fast; Unfairness happens in a wrestling bout; Sincerity has gone into the past. The business class is greedy for money; For now, more truth is hidden amidst laws; Adulteration spares not ev’n honey; Though fed, the crocodiles have open jaws! Huge sums are siphoned off in dubious ways; An unfair world keeps wearing mask on face. Copyright by dr john celes 15-05-15
