CORRUPTION

BY: PETER OGUNSEYE

There was once a monster,

Hated by many,

Detested by all,

Yet quiet in nature.

He left our community,

To live alone.

To live to die,

In the thick forest of forgotten.

All were happy,

Believing same to be true, that

The monster that had gone;

To the forest to die.

They lose their guard

Believing the monster had gone,

Not knowing that the monster can change

Into anything he wants.

He became gratitude;

Loved by all, he laughed at them

So, he became inadequacy. They never

Resist

He put greed in their minds

To desire lovely things, the spirit of

Having it all. They began to love it

As all became selfish.

Anarchy looms in their hearts,

As the monster laughs at them,

As their hearts become monstrous,

Just like the monster they thought,

Had gone to die.

The monster laughs at them,

Ha!!! Ha!!! Ha!!! Ha!!!!;

Appear before them in his monstrous cloak

And called himself CORRUPTION.
