In corridors where whispers reign,
Power’s shadow casts its chain.
Promises made in gilded words,
Lost in echoes seldom heard.

Ambitions masked in noble guise,
Yet truth is hidden by their lies.
Coins exchanged, silent decree,
Freedom’s cost, a tainted plea.

Hope fades beneath the weight of greed,
As justice bows, a wounded steed.
The public eye, a blinded gaze,
In darkness deep, integrity lays.

Rise, voices of the silenced throng,
Challenge the night with righteous song.
For in the light of dawn’s embrace,
Corruption’s grip we shall efface.
