#CLEAR RIDE
A first class ride is knowing the way,
staying clear of the clutches of corruption each day,
white stays white and black stays black,
never allowing our virtues to lay slack.
When darkness is permitted into the light,
their tricks must be cast into the night,
one drop of black destroys what's white,
turning it grey where we lose our sight.
All justice is perverted by one small bribe,
taking many onto corruption's ride,
our purity and dignity goes for a slide,
as in embarrassed shame we try to hide.
The waters of life have become all murky,
we lose first class and are sucked into dirty,
no longer in control but ruled by shame,
we search around for someone to blame.
