Corruption

Corruption ! corruption creeps in silent, dressed in gold,
A polished mask where lies are sold.
It leaves behind a dark disgrace.

It rides in cars with tinted glass,
While barefoot children watch it pass.
It turns our dreams to ash and dust.

It bends the law, the truth it buys,
With hidden deals and crafted lies.
Justice crumbles at its feet.

Yet sparks in shadow still ignite,
A voice that dares to stand and fight.
United, we can end its reign.
