REFLECTIONS © 2011
Corruption is the defense
Of an inferior society.
It’s a reflection of corrupted values,
Where ethics and justice are subverted,
And inequality is perpetuated
Through vitiated and diverted practices.
Instead of seeking the common good,
Corruption feeds inequality,
And protects selfish interests,
Making injustice a reality.
It’s a sign that society
Has yet to achieve true integrity,
And struggles to rise above corruption,
To create a future of honesty and dignity.
