Ultimate Corruption Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Ultimate Corruption

Rating: 5.0


The Judiciary is the firmest pillar
And the last resort of people
For the protection
Of their rights.

When this pillar
Is eroded by corruption
The collapse of democracy
Is inevitable.

Corruption promotes
Moral degradation in a society
And when a country is hit
By this great menace
The core of its heart ceases to beat.

The people cry
Like a Roaring Dragon
Marching under the intense heat of the sun
Marching in heavy storm rains
Their angry steps dig holes
On the isles and curves of streets
Raising their fists in the air
With combined voices
That move the unmoved
And rouse the sleeping souls.

A country of chaos
A country of despair
A country which hope
Has been extinguished
In the darkest of the night
A country which dreams
Have been beaten
And blown away by the furious winds.

Corruption promotes/Moral degradation in a society/And when a country is hit/By this great menace/The core of its heart ceases to beat.....pragmatic expression! A very creditable piece of work on burning social issue! The last stanza is poignantly but powerfully expressed.....................10

Poignant, powerful and thought-provoking it touches a nerve and rightfully so. The guilty will pay if not in this life, then the next. 10++ and added to my wrathful poem list. Thank you good Rose Marie, have a great day tomorrow and take care.

A country of chaos A country of despair A country which hope Has been extinguished In the darkest of the night..............That's what happening in most of the countries. A true picture so nicely painted.

A beautiful take on the judicial journey we all create in our mind. A profound impression of what really governs our life and how they are polluted.
