Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHGH IJKJ LMLM NONO PQPO| In this great land of uncommon sages | A |
| Where iniquities have become rated | B |
| And hard labour paid with meagre wages | C |
| While morals and truth are dead hated | B |
| - | |
| The air is strong with the odour of crimes | D |
| And the culprits dance to the tune of ruin | E |
| Feigning the harrowing signs of the times | D |
| And leading their ways in a life of sin | F |
| - | |
| The simple route that once led to the bliss | G |
| Has turned our ways in a muddle of pride | H |
| Where justice and virtue are found amiss | G |
| And the folk by the law no longer abide | H |
| - | |
| The 'sense' in the 'commonsense' is long lost | I |
| But man out of greed forgets his input | J |
| In the havoc caused and now counts the cost | K |
| Then blames his boot for the faults of his foot | J |
| - | |
| The balloon of the vices swells year by year | L |
| When the left sins the right gets the blame | M |
| Now the garment of pride is torn in the rear | L |
| So the world could see the shame of its name | M |
| - | |
| The faults in the land have hit the sky | N |
| The sun rises all the way from the west | O |
| The shadow of pain is falling from the high | N |
| So the world is knit like fibres of the nest | O |
| - | |
| But the end of the mess will soon arrive | P |
| When the crooks will reap their sad harvest | Q |
| When the effort of the honest would thrive | P |
| To return the legal mandate of the rest | O |
