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.

Corruption 1

Arrogance and elegance Tucked into one small frame Eyes flicker to the window Gaunt face estranged from reality Distortions and hallucinations greet A meth troubled mind He paces The cocaine still in his system The paranoia is still with him Bloodshot eyes have stolen a nights sleep from a pacing skeleton He’s convinced the place is overrun with police When no one’s there Sobriety is a luxury/ impossibility Swears every second sentence grace his entrance We are the well intentioned Yet we enable No one on this earth can keep him stable.
