Sonnet: Will Common-Sense Never Prevail?

Some countries send their rockets into space To probe the planets near-by to the earth; What colossal waste of sums in this race, While basic wants of humans stay a dearth! Who cares about the unborn babes, human? Who feels for children begging in the streets? Who's sorry for the handicapped person? So many corpses can't afford pall-sheets! A few are billionaires who don't pay tax! The middle class is poorer day by day; The laws allow the ‘bigger fishes' lax; Each year, the salaried are taxed some way! The netas spend their lives in luxury; The common man's immersed in much worry! Copyright by dr john celes 21-07-2016
