The Corrupt man

I flap my tireless wing

Against the night's strong wind

From below I hear her faint shout

Which I do not doubt

Only to perch further away

And not much dismay

For you see am not that bird

Whom you know to go to early bed

Cos I do not fly for long

In this cold and dangerous world

For I haven't had a decent meal

This is no big deal

But I see a man eat in the shadow

With close and tight window

He is a greedy politician

Who makes baseless decision.

For corruption is born

At the early morning dawn

In broad day light

Out of every keen sight

Yet it sinks and melts

In every heart it felt

At pain, poverty and distress

Like the beautiful baby in a mess

Perhaps it is no fault of his

That all he has to do is fish

Into every available pocket

Cos of every file he dockets

But whose fault is it

That he has to sit

And hide every available truth
