Pain of Corruption

One day spoke corruption Bitterly to reputation What a time has come Totally unable I’m To create a sensation And heart filled with gloom In a tone lost in dream Spoke he There was a time When I had a special regime I was the grace of kings Crowned with great attention I was the hobby of the rich With feathers of glory To my cap stitch But just look at me How small, how frequent I have become Every poor and wealthy Every weak and healthy Boast of being corrupt And of all the worst Even a leader Have become My greatest breeder Just look here and there Ah me! Everywhere Everybody has been using me Oh that! I could have died Before watching My life’s ugliest side I have left no place To go and hide Oh my great God! Help me lift forever For I cannot bear Such a painful cheer Look how the media All over Tearing my tender soul And my delicate heart Holes in the whole I have left no place To hide my ugly face
