Corrupt crops
As a child I was corrupt less.
As I grew to an adolescent,
I know all adults are corrupt.
As an adult, I forgave them.
Growing wise, I forgave myself.
Corruption cannot be weeded.
Crops themselves are corrupt.

Corruption Is Cancer
The head is perfect with others corrupt.
Others are perfect with the head corrupt.
Both are same; the system is corrupt.
It’s like cancer growing in an organ.

They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.

Kingdom is better.
Kings don’t need to be corrupt.
The owners don’t need to corrupt.
Their servants only can be..
In a democracy, everyone is so.

When starts decay?
Corrupt men and lack of action
Against corrupt men are heading
To a situation where honest men
Cannot work. Then will starts decay.

If the teacher be corrupt, the world will be corrupt.
Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly be corrupt.

Sonnet: On Corruption Today
God, thwart the moves of men with minds insane;
Their corruption has reached enormous heights;
And masking all their crimes, righteous they feign;
Ill-gotten wealth, giving them sleepless nights!
How long this land can bear their insults, Lord?
How longer must the poor suffer hard-ships?
The corrupt own most resources, O God;
Most transactions are carried out by ‘tips’!
The people have been cheated for ages;
The poor are made poorer by corrupt men;
The employees get paid paltry wages.
For honest folk, the earth is no haven!
Most lives are endangered by corruption;
The world does need a cleansing eruption!

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.

Nothing Is Missing
From ambiguous to ambiguity,
They steal around and still tell us all is well;
But who do they think they are fooling? ! !
Fir the news is known by all around this town.
Out of space and from nowhere,
Life is like that at times;
With negative governments all around us!
On the flip side,
What vision do they have? !
With corrupt leaders who always tell us nothing is wrong,
But the answer lies in our own mouths.
View things from the highest point and tell me what you see,
For the corrupt governments have divided the wealth of the nations!
Yet still they say to us, nothing is missing.

Democracy
(Democracy in India has become a fun for certain people. The nexus between the corrupt politicians and corrupt officers is responsible for degrading the values of democracy)
People's state for the people, by the people,
But what kind of people?
Criminals, robbers murderers, rapists,
And off-course the corrupts,
These are the people?
And
honest, simple and plain speaking
Feel suffocated,
If this is democracy,
I denounce it.
