Gaudium et spes de mendacium

poem by: Mark Moon
Written on May 24, 2021 

Children, the beacons of hope,
Delightful, one positive trope,
Honesty, that’s how to cope,
Morality, a slippery slope,
Redacted, sealed in an envelope,
Imparity, wash it away with soap,
Optimism, look through the telescope,
Buried, under a legitimate skipping rope,
800 in a septic tank, question for the pope,
Gaudium et spes, the joy and hope
