Lack of oversight

A rant petrarchan sonnet form

Lack of oversight.

 

The quality of mercy is not strained.

Today it seems to be more underused.

Charity appeals have us all confused.

The urge to contribute is now constrained

We can’t be sure that anything is gained

We are afraid donations have been misused

Our generosity has been abused

Although we ask no one has explained.

 

Exactly where the money raised has gone.

Administration costs are far too high.

The doubts I have will linger on

Until somebody can explain why.

and what the money has been spent upon.

No one accepts responsibility.
