The Corrupt

The life of power is so funny that man become so engrossed with such impunity to pursue a purposeless life full of vanity and violence to keep their sinking ship afloat to sail in their stormy waters full of monsters. Wake up now and save yourselves from this tsunami that's going to wipe you away from that delirious dream of yours. As oppressors are so blinded by greed, even so are the ones seeking power. Intimidation becomes their best weapon to oppress the weak. Their eyes blinded to the tears of the hungry, ears closed to the cries of the afflicted, no mercy for the sick ones, their hearts hardened for there's no pity in them. They abhorred to be corrected, advice given are not taken for they cannot be counselled. Corrupted by greed, they dip their hands deep into the public funds kept in their custody. The funds meant for National use disappeared at their watch. Yet they claimed to be innocent of their heinous crimes, pretending to be honest they rob the state treasury. Looters are they amongst themselves, a disgrace to the service entrusted to them, exposing their ignorance to the gullible. Shame on you. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.
