Corruption

Corruption devours
country's wealth and resources
bringing poverty

to common people
the backbone of society
who put their full trust

on the government
to take care of all their needs
in the social sphere

social malady
infecting most officials
in public office

Kings and ministers
presidents and senators
members of congress

all vulnerable
to this infectious syndrome
affecting morals

from the highest post
to the lowest positions
corruption prevails

money and power
are great means in politics
to stay powerful

can corruption die?
how to stop this endless greed? 
for power and wealth
