Corrupt World

Darkness has no source of light 
under corrupt bodies cells die cold 
In those that change laws falsely accusing the just 
where bad manners becomes good and the good becomes bad 
calling it human rights eating scraps in order of merit 
to feed the elites purse my thoughts on this subject of Plato 
a man of ancient wisdom with very well delivered words 
that speaks well of modern times

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows 
and lies of their culture will never be understood 
let alone believed by the masses

Alas, this is what our world has come to, my friend! Corruption keeps raising its greedy head, and values have gone astray! Your expressive poem says it all. ~ Wishing you a happy, serene and fruitful new year. // paul
