Corrupt
Corrupt
The old woman says the system only works for certain people
She's right for the system really fricking sucks
In the worst possible damn way
Some people waltz right on in there
And get what they want with no worries
Like thieves in broad daylight
Not giving a hoot about being caught
While those on the list are stuck in limbo
Caught up in a system that doesn't work
And never will for it was invented to fail
And be fricked and screw people over
While the sneeky ones get away with murder
Ramming their hatchets in our backsĀ
And grinning their grin knowing they've won
And we all failed coz the system is bust
Our ghosts just nod and move on
Waiting for their next corrupt life
Not even Groundhog Day was this bad

there are different types of corruption. that of the self, eg moral corruption. a person can be corrupted if easily led by a manipulative person to do something for the other's gain. then there is financial corruption or graft. this is prevalent in communist nations, partly why the commies failed. a man digging a hole in the world gets the same wage as a man making mig planes. they row. the digger claims he physically works harder. mig man says he uses his head. no1 wins there. so the digger sneakily bucks the system and sells building supplies from his boss on the side, thus making extra undeclared cash and being corrupt. there are many examples in the media, around us personally and nationally on a country wide level. the corruption i indicated in my piece is based on an appointment system which can be manipulated and thus is corrupt. i added shall we say some extras.
