Moral Haiku # 254

                                    
   



                                                  Flourishing  evil 
                                       no contol, action  or punishment
                                                thrives  relentlessly



                                                      Forgot our culture
                                             modesty, manners calm nad kindness
                                                       extinct from society.

  3. Values and morals are the base of a society.
    To keep it alive, justice and punishment is must.
    But where is India going in this respect? :(
