Political Corruption And Betrayal

When golden futures from their false lips flow,

And the politicians promise power's gain,

Their selfish hearts, in which secret interests grow,

Through shadowed nepotism, mark their reign.

Their vows, mere echoes in the halls of might,

A cunning mask their faces hide from view,

Where partial hands corrupt what should be right,

And truth is lost, as they their paths pursue.

Their yes-men gather, hoping for their share,

And shameful deeds, for glory, they embrace,

The promises they make, but never dare

To keep, while honor fades from this sad place.

And some, in blind devotion, yield their breath,

A tragic end, born of a hollow death.
