The Clare Sonnet is a couplet rhyme pattern aabbccddeeffgg - The Perfect Sonnet Contest
Selfishness...

You reap what you sow - you get what you give.
Reckoning comes by the way that you live.

Dishonor abounds. Disgrace rules your days.
A blithering fool - with your shameful ways.

A sickening sight - a waste year by year.
Your callousness spawns both trauma and fear

To family and friends - and those you have 'used';
So shocking the ways - that you have abused.

With tolerance gone - and empathy lost;
You've closed the last door and we've paid the cost.

As you look around where love used to be -
Remember the choices you made with glee.

We all choose our fate - life's options are there;
You need to wake up... find mercy in prayer.
