An Indian Dream Comes True

The war against corruption has begun! It cannot end in scheduled time in years; A beginning that’s good is work half-done; But thanks to Anna, his Think-tank and seers! Corruption is ingrained in people’s hearts; The weed has grown wide-spread throughout the lands; It can’t be wiped away, despite efforts; It needs a change of attitude, strong hands! Corruption is a love for easy wealth; No one’s immune from habit that’s so rife; The habit gains every person by stealth; It hurts the poor, down-trodden’s heart like knife! United, war against the menace works; Democracy needs cleansing from its sores; When left as such, society, it well irks; It enters houses, homes by windows, doors! One Bill cannot contain the rampant strife; All citizens must fight the habit, crime; Nevertheless, it can improve one’s life; Only then, nations progress with more time! Corruption is not something with a cure; Beyond a point, we need not it endure; Nevertheless, many hearts it does lure; The menace can be mitigated, sure.
