More

More As the bindings of morality Become looser every day Every adult, every youngster Is seduced to have his way Inhibitions once had merits The lack of them was to one’s cost But the change of times now teaches That those virtues are best tossed As we watch how mores and cultures Overwhelmingly decline One should actually start to wonder ’How has this affected mine?’ For a human without culture Without values, without belief Keeps on living with abandon All he’ll reap is woe and grief Though the harvest of this fruitage Shows there is a lot to mend Still a virtuous opinion Will most certainly offend For all evil now gives pleasure Who would dare to make it stop? We’re like greedy children sucking On a poisoned lollipop And the damage is so obvious But we cowardly ignore For we revel in excesses And we keep on craving more. Wendy Nipas
