By Design
Paper houses bend and bow
Every time the winds will blow.
It’s by design or so they’re told,
For safety if it fold.
And when the tides rise up
The homes will sink to nothing more,
And the builders say
“Blame salt and sea
"Who allowed integrity to fail.”

I liked the moral aspect to this little piece. Reminded me of being a kid in school and being taught the song about the man who built his house on the rock mocking the man who built his house on the sand.
This poem is particularly relevant to all that is going on in the world at the moment in a lovely abstract way. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing.
