The Birth Of Corruption

Corruption usually starts With a small favor from the heart To an acquaintance, a friend, a pal A schoolmate or a family member. Corruption creeps on, it happens In many forms or facets. It threatens The very fibers of our society Corruption is a cancer to every country In the world. It has no legs, but it can Crawl, walk and run. It has no wings But it can fly faster than an eagle Corruption is deadly. It is never feeble It is strong. Corruption only brings bad things Death, execution, backstabbing, and a lot of pain. Corruption usually starts Infinitesimally tiny like a grain of salt And ends as big as a nuclear missile And ends as tall as a giant imbecile.
