              CORRUPTION
          By ... Steve Lucky

No place on Earth is completely immune to it.
Wherever it is, it will try to spread
Until it has control of everything.
It will try to consume anything given to it
No matter how noble it might be.
Corruption is a powerful force
And should not be taken lightly.
Power itself is not only a poor defense against it,
But can actually allow it
To take over from the inside.
Most attacks against it will actually make it grow.
Despite the best efforts of many people,
Once it takes hold it usually remains and grows.
Love, the best way to defeat it,
Far too often is used in insuffient amounts.
Spreading to all parts of the world,
Even those hidden from view,
It may turn out to be
The ultimate opponent of all mankind.
No disease or natural disaster is as devistating to humanity
As the actions of human beings themselves.
Fighting corruption from within
May turn out to be the toughest battle of all.
