Corruption Poem by Barry Middleton
Corruption
corruption only serves the self
it disregards the needs of others
corrupt government is a great evil
it exploits those it should protect
corruption is betrayal and deceit
it is layered in lies and trickery
corruption is tyranny in disguise
thievery shielded in darkness
corruption putrefies the soul
it is forever an insatiable lust
to fight corruption be generous
focus on the needs of the many
corruption dims in truth's light
to save your soul rely on truth
truth is a beacon in the night
it is silent and gentle and pure
I may be in the temptation to reshape and reline it, to feel it the way it impressed me by its metaphors.
