Corruption

A tune of confusion it plays
A band of unity it scatters
 The rhythm of peace it alters
 The valley of harmony it erupts

A terrorist proven guilty it is
A hatcher of malice contrite it plea's
  The judiciary of justice it bribes
  A heart of disloyalty it breeds

A seed of hatred it sows
 The fruit of vinegar it bears
The garment of brotherhood it tears
   An enemy of progress it testifies

Take position and fight this threat
Before it begets a venomous throb.
