Lamentations
Honesty is an essential quality
But oh, what a rare commodity
In my community!
Violence, I'm told, is vice,
But it is as common as rice
In my community!
Wisdom is for the don,
But every dunce,
Lays claim to it
In my community!
Our value system,
Has gone topsy-turvy,
The good is seen as bad
And the bad, good
In my community!
The foolish is wise,
And the wise, foolish.
The honest is poor
And the poor, dishonest
In my community!
