BLOG # 12: SONNET & HAIKU






Sonnet
by: Klent & Kyla

God, thwart the moves of men with minds insane;

Their corruption has reached enormous heights;

And masking all their crimes, righteous they feign;

Ill-gotten wealth, giving them sleepless nights!



How long this land can bear their insults, Lord?

How longer must the poor suffer hard-ships?

The corrupt own most resources, O God;

Most transactions are carried out by ‘tips’!



The people have been cheated for ages;

The poor are made poorer by corrupt men;

The employees get paid paltry wages.

For honest folk, the earth is no haven!



Most lives are endangered by corruption;

The world does need a cleansing eruption!




HAIKU

Dragons
by: Klent and Kyla

Dragons that were tied 
Coerce for tribulation
To rip them apart
