Corruption is spreading its roots,Indiscipline is what it includes.Usually it takes the form of bribe,The word is enough in itself for thehappening to describe.

It fills ones mind with greed,Thus makes the person a broken reed.It fights against and kills the truth,Changing the real meaning of forsooth.It never does the work for humanity,And leads a man to the path of

profanity.It makes a person blind,He forgets the true path to find.One wants his life to be luxurious,For this, he chose the way of corruptioninstead of being tedious.

It makes one impatient so soon,It is totally a bane not a boon.So, lets take a pledge and raise a voiceagainst corruption,As it is one of the biggest threats tothe nation!!!!!
