POEM VERSION I
Corruption festers like a wound
Its evil hips spreads across the land
From the highest to the lowest scoundrels
It takes its toll, they cannot stand.
The shadows of corruption obscure
The people's lives and dreams,
Its darkness blocking the sunlight
With the loss of freedom it deems.
With illusions of power, the sharks swim
From politicians to bureaucrats
With bribes in their coffers, they play
And tend to their lofty goals and stats.
In the hearts of the people, despair
As the corruption strangles their destiny
The swindled amounts slowly clocking
The good is stolen away, so easily.
In the cure for corruption, we must all partake
From the highest to the lowest of the scale
Till the infection of corruption is banished away
And all can celebrate a fresh, new tale.
POEM VERSION II
Corruption soaring high,
Ruling power slowly die,
No one seems to care,
The people seem unaware,
Betrayal of trust begin,
When their nature starts to sin,
The government uses its might,
Making them weaker in the fight.
Hollow promises they make,
Integrity they take,
Injustice and inequity begin,
Making the lives of innocent dim.
Corruptions new shape,
Exploits and manipulates,
Seeing through the eyes of truth,
Lets cleanse the world from this loot.
POEM VERSION III
Clinging on with its sullying grip,
Corruption taints every aspect of life,
It weakens the foundation of our ship,
As it gains strength with each passing strife.
Eroding foundations to their core,
It shunts success with each stride,
Sacrificing control never before,
As our lives slowly subside.
It looks for a void to fill,
Leaving vast chasms in its wake,
Often going unnoticed until,
It's too late, choices alas too late.
Instabilities and fear now fill the air,
Success decisions have been sullied,
It's now that we must fight and be aware,
For corruption is not unhinged, that's wilfully.
POEM VERSION IV
Corruption on the rise
Wreaking havoc with its goes
Without constraints it grows
Enemies of the state it will pick
Families and friends in a mess it will stick
Powerful billionaires cling to its side
Influencers never on its own abide
Leaving the powerless in vulnerable states
Bantered and battered they remain in debates
Elevated to the levels so high
Daily making decisions but lacking insight why
Respect for justice seems to be swayed
With greed and corruption the light it will spray
Addressing this problem will take more than try
For only then we can truly hope to be sigh.
