Fabric of Moral Decay

Swiftly faltering, the fabric that bonds Bovarism intrudes, with stealth it hides Conjuring depraved for all to bear oath Longing for days past, dignity and pride Severance now square, local youth here wage Declining in part, our moral picture Sheltering family with bitter cost As decay increases so does stricture September 22, 2020 Writing Challenge – Decay – Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Greetings, Mark. Congratulations on your Win.! While I understand the overtone of your poem. Observation and warning of a lurid society, I had to look up the word bovarism. Then oddly (rather) discover this is my condition.... Wow, word warranted here.... Step one I suppose...!

What a terrible selfish world we live in with many choosing evil over good. Mankind will pay for his sins, make no mistake. Good luck Tom
