Veins of Corruption

Corruption:
leaders spinning for greed;
feet dragged in the filth of apathy.

Deception:
media hiding truths;
racing to their own gain without shame.

Perversion:
Church molesting God’s name;
prayers of consumed dishonesty.

the mob's cheers and chants battered my ears

while my moist lips trembled

gave me a brief moment of rebirth

the soil soaked in my hurried hurt
