Contaminated Waters

Quite resolutely pondering our status though,
Is it acceptable to rob a country of its dough?
Considered superior to all creation,
In dealings worst of animal imitation.
Degeneracy it is to steal and stoop
Wherever possible in law find a loop
Cautiously to crawl and creep
And at any opportunity leap
If there be such a scale to measure social vanity,
Not a single soul exempt from severity
Our own set of values, even those distorted,
To suit inner motives,dark souls corrupted
Pursuing money and power,under such a facade
Though momentarily bloom yet a heavy price demand .
Forever falling in a sinking swamp with a fermented face
Freezing for fraction of a second in utter disgrace
It appears a bottomless pit ,with valleys dark and deep
Rising shamefully this upward journey with every seconds beep
Deploring deterioration and decay of moral self
Fewer days of glamour then,forever now a haunting elf
