Corruption reigns, the world's in pain,
As politicians play their game.
Blinded by power, they cannot see,
The innocent bloodshed they set free.
The cries of concern, they fall on deaf ears,
As the people suffer through the years.
Personified, politics is a beast,
Feeding on the pain of those it fleeces.
The rage within burns hot as fire,
As hope begins to slowly expire.
Oh, how we long for a world that's fair,
But in this darkness, who will dare?
