Descending Into Lawlessness

Descending Into Lawlessness

A Poem by MCS
"

When people lack teachers, their tendencies are not corrected; when they do not have ritual and moral principles, then their lawlessness is not controlled. ~ Xunzi

"

 

Insanity now reigns supreme 

Lying is now the norm

Evil widely accepted

Democracy is on life-support

This irrational push 

To make America great again

Correct me if I’m wrong

It was great as it was  

Often the yardstick 

To use as a gauge

To keep things stable
