Corruption Customized

Lingering languages, lovely lies Morality murdered, mistakes modernized Words of woes, wooed by the wise Flavored flowers falling: frailty fraternized. Mean and mighty men moving… Tempted to touch the thrones traumatized Best bows, brains and brawns bending Inertia institutionalized, iniquity immortalized. Goats giving grafts, giants gaining grounds Mean men’s monies monopolized Righteousness rusticated, robbery rubber-stamped Cronyisms in control, corruption customized.
