Poem Title:
Poem
Two scales must always be within an approximate range for an accurate weight, and the close relationship between the Humankind and God must withstand any change. Solutions must be found before catastrophe approaches, and if we were caught by surprise, we would regret the outcome; less trees should be cut down to make room for buildings. Thieves, murderers and rapists should be held in contempt and thrown into dungeons...instead of giving them cosy cells, the Law admits that's just to punish, but inhumane to torment. Nightly streets have been taken over by muggers, drug dealers and prostitutes, now called escorts, haven't changed their lewd attitude; even madams of the brothels open doors for the well-dressed sirs. Society has gone mad, and it has condoned both sexes of equal desires; never was Sodom and Gomorrah as iniquitous and lustful as this one; God forbid...I entered this city and be found guilty of their perversions! While on the outskirts, in run-down homes poverty duplicates its horrible woes, politicians' corrupt hands are not seen...pocketing money that Congress approved; and the suffering of the poor is plagued by famines that turn into deadly diseases. Crooked judges are manipulated by criminal defense lawyers who have handfuls of cash; justice can never be served when criminals are given their parole, and the innocent, humble men are detained and put behind bars, because of their limited wealth. Proud hearts see neither simplicity nor beauty in anything that evolves into splendid light; self-praise, greed, bluntness and invulnerability are the rules they live and swear by; humbleness is unacceptable and insignificant...it's a virtue which diminishes their pride.
