Corruption

Corruption, It's everywhere; In the air, floating 'round;
From the top of the sky to far below the ground.

Corruption is a very strong force that has plagued our universe.
Much like the Asian Flu that plagues me and you in the winter.

I see it in every walk of life, including a little of my own.  If you aren't corrupt, you simply get corrupt.  Fight fire with fire or you'll get burned.

Don't blame yourself for teaching your fellow man how to survive in a corrupt system.

It's the POWER that sells corruption.  The more power you have, the more corrupt you become.  The more corrupt you are, the more power you have. 

See it in all places, in many walks and all races.
CIA, FBI, IRS, DEA, just to name a few.

The power of corruption may soon take over you.
