Values

Values the guiding principles,       

Define an individual,            

Influence our decisions,           

Provide clarity in actions,       

Individuals with high values,         

Lead by examples

Are admirable and honourable,     

Become notable and reliable,          

But with time and change,         

Values are relegated,            

Honesty and simplicity,        

Replaced by dishonesty and animosity, 

Man forgetting his roots,         

Today's core truth,            

Corruption leading to disruption,

Demoralising the population,     

Humility and humanity,                

Dominated by atrocity and inequality,    

Hampering peace, law and order, 

It's high time for humans to ponder.
