POEM STARTER
Corruption
Write a poem that addresses the theme of corruption. This is an uncommon theme to express poetically, so think about different types of corruption, and how they can best be explored through poetry.
corrupted
day by day i feel it invading,
this sticky darkness that brings pain.
and day by day i’ve been contemplating
the growing fog in my brain.
who am i now?
who am i now?
i think i’ve lost sight of me.
for i say things now and i do things now that have made me the enemy.
soon i will be swallowed whole,
smudged by its cold, cold finger.
the drugs, the aches, the love, the world,
now nothing of me shall linger.
