Corruption Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Corruption

Rating: 4.9


You are one of the social ills
In the annals of mankind
A leech that preys on the weak
The poor and the ignorant.

You destroy the very core
And foundation of society
A malaise that must have been eradicated
In its entirety.

Anyone that embraces you
Is a minion of darkness
An enemy that wrenches you
Into pieces.

People will join forces against you
And you will be vilified to the end
Your children
And your children's children.

You will be effaced
Completely
By the full force
Of the laws of men
And of God, the Almighty.

LAST PART: I did not dare to create a poem about that, now with President Jokowi, I did that fir the first time and my poem was published in a famous Journal where everyone in the world can read that. Since that was published in SpillWords, hereafter I posted that on FaceBook. I felt very happy, you bet. A TEN Vote.and more for you.

Poets who dare to write and publish are true amazing poets, and that YOU ARE, DEAR ROSE MARIE, I am sure and that must be said here, for poets who do not know how that is in countries where corruption is reigning.

I have come across this profound poem today, it remains still gorgeous and impressing. An honest poem that contains the truth and nothing but the truth and is still powerfully loaded. Thank you once again for this most important problem in the world. My Blessings always, dear Mrs. Juan-Austin.
