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.
For Sale
Those who point the finger
Telling right from wrong
The high and mighty linger
Reigning for far too long
Money-hungry gluttons
Far beyond reproach
Flaunt without reluctance
As our deaths approach
When the leaders fail
Who will light the way
No more men for sale
No more bribes today
Armies of officials
Marching for their cause
Drag the guiltless with them
Into open jaws
Caring not for people
Living for no creed
Using cross and steeple
To justify their greed
When the leaders fail
Who will light the way
No more men for sale
No more bribes today
