Disaster when graft
Singes national fabric
Greed and kleptomania craft
Marries mafia manners and personal pocket polytrick.
Disaster when kleptocracy
Dares to bare national coffers
To the detriment of democracy
As plunder and pillage pulverize loafers.
Disaster when ego-tripping
Diverts national cake
To worship cash-ripping
As the poor, the vulnerable and the voiceless they forsake.
Disaster when the ivory tower
Radiates crime, satiates doom
Satisfies hedonism, slays power
To propagate gloom and promote gloom.

The poem excellently portrays the realities of society. Disaster is bound to come when society is corrupted, ego driven and hedonistic. Thanks for sharing. Warm regards, Bipasha
