Corruption

A monster that refuses to die A shame that lingers on A menace to the society Impenetrable to bullet Immune to euthanasia Insulated against electrocution The root cause of our underdevelopment It's sent our economy to ruination And our saints to damnation It stings like a bee Spits venom like a viper A biased steward that serves those Who already have a belly full Of the national cake At the expense of the have-nots A demon that possess our leaders With no hope of exorcism Now they preach capital influx But practice capital flight They preach unity But finance disunity They preach security But mastermind insecurity An incorrigible thief That robs us of our integrity Cart away our conscience Defraud us of our unity Loot our treasury Deny us of our freedom Pauperise the masses Rob our leaders of their broad-minds And replace it with myopic ones
