Leaders Of Corruption

Where is our world headed?
Look what it has become
when men in power
full of corruption
think they're the only ones
to make this world
the way they would see it
and others opinions don't count
and people are tortured
and nations are pillaged
and tensions continue to mount.

When politicians lie to us
and some police tend to take bribes
and a city official
is caught in the sack
with some 'hoe' who is up on a charge.

When power turns to greed
and greed to corruption
there's no one to speak for us
for they're too busy
covering their tracks
and talking out the side of their mouths.

Don't follow their examples
we're all much better than that.
Respect each other
Be honest, sincere and grateful
that in these times of chaos
confusion and upset
we can count on each other.

Above all, get in touch with your God.
We may think we can handle anything
but deep down inside us
in the quiet
when no one is looking
we know we need Someone.
