Power It Can Corrupt Poem by Francis Duggan

Power it can corrupt as some are known to say
And money can give rise to moral decay
Your word is your bond is practiced by too few
On saying this i am not saying anything new
Everyone for himself or herself and God for us all
A cynical truism that i sometimes recall
In the big business World of corporate crime and company fraud
The people of money society applaud
The materially rich scoundrels to say the least not rare
For those they leave financially poorer not one thought they do spare
Many of the people that many look up to are not squeaky clean
On saying in them room for improvement you know what i mean
To good people of all races credit is surely due
But that power can corrupt so happens to be true.
