O God, extend life-spans of people good; <br />The growing evils must be annulled fast; <br />The world is seeing heinous crimes, shed-blood; <br />The innocent lives mustn’t be easily lost. <br /> <br />Even the lion chooses weakened prey! <br />The foxes trot to cheat unwary ones; <br />And everywhere are seen areas of grey; <br />Governance is by harassment and guns! <br /> <br />World-Order appears in chaos, doldrums; <br />The nature’s furies strike millions dead; <br />Going to waste is people’s hard-earned sums; <br />What can we do if rivers change course-bed? <br />.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-may-the-righteous-minds-prevail/
