Perversion

Because of perversion,
  the straightest path bends

Because of perversion,
  confusion befriends

Because of perversion,
  all smiles a frown

Because of perversion,
  up is now down

Because of perversion,
  the truth is a lie

Because of perversion,
  a pig seeks to fly

Because of perversion,
  all evil portends

Because of perversion,
 —this world will soon end
