What do you think this poem is about?

Strange world

How strange this world is!
The wrong-doer is entertained,
But, an innocent is disdained!

A pervert is pricking flesh,
Bragging of his sins.
A poet is banished for his dreams!

How strange these people are,
Who enjoy, the muck of life,
Themselves jokers, let not others survive.

    when a lie is repeated over and over it becomes a.truth
    even those who know the truth shy away
    I am reminded of a great poem, Lend me the light
    .......be that light, light over the world...
