Corruption is one of the greatest enemies of progress of our time. It is the cancer at the heart of so many of the world’s problems. David Cameron
Familiarity breeds complacency. Rick Warren
There’s a constant hammering Alongside my bedroom window Repercussions of a corrupt gutter The maddening drain Obstinately and persistently has refused All rehabilitation efforts There are no drip drip drips Only Pound Pound Pounds As water clashes with wood and metal The clangor must be amplified By a loudspeaker To make such minute water drops Sound like a crazed gongsman Locked in a metallic chamber with a battle mace With no distinct pattern The piercing pattering Thwack Thwack Thwacks Proclaiming, “You will find no peace here!” And yet Its constant monotone irritation Somehow Lulls me to sleep
