Inevitable
When the purpose of a thing is not known
Abuse does not only becomes INEVITABLE
But a VEGETABLE on an EVENT-TABLE
Yet UNPALATABLE
Everyone now sits around this TABLE
To DISCUSS at times in CAUCUS
Leaving the CACTUS and the CARROT with the PARROT
Because it is a CORRUPT-TABLE
When MORAL VALUES are reduced to ORAL FABLES
The AURA is lost and the MORALS become TERRIBLY FEEBLE
It reduces one to a PEBBLE
Even if you are HUMBLE
You have to cross the HURDLE
And you may choose to FUMBLE
At best you may GRUMBLE
For not having a VENERABLE
At the TABLE in the TEMPLE
With an APPLE to receive a TURTLE
But just a CRADLE
Which is not better than a STABLE
Where you used to CHUCKLE, CHORTLE,
GURGLE and GIGGLE. What do you think?
