Corruption

A vast and sprawling institution,
With members in all walks of life.
We can, we will, and we do,
Alter history to suit our needs.
We fight wars for our cause,
We have pogroms,
Against science, education, and art.

We burn, we torture, and subjugate,
Intolerance, bigotry, suppression,
Stealing, lying, cheating, murdering.
We are masters of it all.
Our fingers rake greedily through all those pies,
All divinely justified of course.

hi, i'm curious...
manic - what sort of sad do you mean?
I really would like an expansion of your comment :)
I'm hard to offend, so say what you mean.





when i first wrote this, i thought it sad - pathetic, that i'd ever bother to stoop so low as to do politics or religion, but it's sat on my drive waiting, so I had a wtf, and posted it...
I was wondering if you meant the sad - unhappy, type instead....
