Corrupt

I fondly fathom sound answers, Dancing around subjective flame, Looking through me, Beautiful deceptive eyes, Verbal enfeebling spy, A con man's survival game, Jester-like remorse Tapping the blood of man, It's all just who you know, A subtle, undefined force, Snorting money as they, Go, Bejeweled fingers thump, As if we all waste, There beloved time, Filling their cups to brim, With golden animosity, A featherweight's crime.

Lines 15 & 16 "there" should be "their." Last line needs apostrophe "featherweight's" Great poem. Not trying to criticize, just trying to help.

Very Powerful write, the title caught my eye.. There is corruption all over this world, you can't get in or out of places unless you know somebody who's anybody..You give the reader plenty to think about here... Thanks for sharing, God Bless*Tyesha
