The Core of Curruption

CORE OF CORRUPTION BY RICHIE KHARIS Some cry so loudly for this strange thing Some fight with all they’ve got for the same thing Some dream of it but haven’t seen Some believe they will have it while they live on A thing so powerful and so evil A thing that turns the gentle into pride Something so peaceful and arrogant A thing that makes the humble command To many, it is the first thing they need, With a solid heart, they shed blood to get it hard. Many, wish it happened without a blink Because this strange thing brings transformation. But we all miss the big quest. How does it transform its’ guests? Who is ready for what it brings? Because it changes most into what they never want to be. Can you control this strange thing? That robs or builds the greatest treasure from within Can you speak and not be intimidated? When it appears before your very face. Will you allow your voice to be bought? When it seeks for nothing but yours Will, you still have a choice When it does show its beautiful side? Yes, what’s the strange thing Money -the core of corruption.
