Sonnet- The World Today(14)

People with intact eyes, yet appear blind; Peop1e with alert ears seem not to hear; People with intact nose, no sme11 can find; People with every joy appear to tear. People are cheats and cheat themselves all life; People tell lies to men and to themselves; People well-off, appear to be in strife; People are bad and appear worse than Elves. The world is bad and so people turn bad; The world isn’t true and so people are not; The world is mad and so people turn mad; The world's a show and people simply plot. And people waste their time and waste others'; And people aren't true to their own brothers.
