Sonnet: Whither Ethics?

All professions must follow ethics well; The guidelines help to do our job with ease; If not for ethics, life becomes like hell; Discontented, you cannot live in peace. But modern world has changed a lot these days; Inspecting bodies, on ethics insist; To circumvent this, there are many ways; In ethics, professionals good still persist. All spheres have turned corrupt and people fake; The righteous persons are under duress; Too many poisonous fish abound in lake; Money can bring success in business. To be unethical, most feel isn't sin; By bribery and cheating, you can't win. Copyright by Dr John Celes 24-01-2016
