Sonnet: The World Of Unsound Men Poem by Dr John Celes

Please God, ‘Do change the weather, change the tide! '
The life of common man has reached its ebb;
The poor are cheated, taken for a ride;
More mighty spiders weave their massive web.

More rich folk's wealth goes into foreign banks;
Polluted are the air and water, soil;
Corruption grows and lives in many ranks;
The water drunk costs more than even oil!

Most mountain stones are sliced to line each wall;
Money in golden bars is stacked secure;
Some nations boast of housing statues tall;
Diseases newer do not have a cure.

The ones with vision blind the ones around;
Mankind in mind and body turns unsound.
