Corruption


The world is corrupted and it all has to stop There are governors and leaders who don't give a flop They're in it for the money not the care of me or you And this movement is far from fresh or new Because honestly these people have turned the world into a zoo Bribery, theft, and blackmail: some methods to name It just kills me to read about this, my expressions are of pain I've been waiting too long and it's time to rise as one It only takes a single person, the revolution has begun Because I'm gonna be that kid, I'm gonna change this life No more pain or misery, cruelty, or strife The world is corrupted and it all has to stop Like the shifty leader or the shady local cop I have but one question that I need to ask: why? Is it even worth fighting for or should I just lay down and die? But there's always light at the end of the tunnel Is that phrase even true? Because what is happiness when all I feel is blue? But one can only hope That the corruption will be gone and I will no longer mope.
