The poor become poorer each day <br />The rich turn richer every way <br />Corruption is the cause that may <br />Prevent a nation’s progress, Aye! <br /> <br />Corruption rules the world in ways <br />Indiscernible yet, always; <br />The common man’s heart, mind and face <br />Reveals the menace in each case <br /> <br />Corruption wears so many masks; <br />The corrupt in lucre’s sun basks; <br />All accept it and no one asks, <br />‘Why burden-some turn daily tasks? ’ <br /> <br />Corruption has gone too rampant; <br />It runs amok like an elephant; <br />The poor man’s life is like an ant; <br />Mass rallies slogans only chant. <br /> <br />The war to curb corruption’s on; <br />Good youth in India have been born; <br />The people get gleanings of corn, <br />While sheaves in rich men’s homes adorn. <br /> <br />Corruption’s the cause of price-rise; <br />Share-markets play a game like dice; <br />Taxes have grown mammoth in size; <br />A tax-payer ashamed then dies. <br /> <br />Which leader will then stem this rot? <br />– Democracy is badly caught; <br />The fight must be much bravely fought <br />Till freedom after Freedom’s got! <br />Dedicated to ‘ I’m Anna! ’ movement hero in India <br />Shri.
