If corruption becomes normal
Will the abnormal become
moral?
Could blackmail be called
acceptable pressure?
Does interference become just
another nice gesture?
Can the language be twisted
to make a wrong, a right?
Can truth be buried in broad daylight?
Do the masters of villainy
hold forth at the podium?
Do they parrot their B.S. loudly
ad nauseam?
Are differences on truth
explained as misunderstandings?
And used as an excuse for
possible hurt feelings?
Can nobody be blamed for constantly
applying pressure?
Was it all done to be helpful
and with good nature?
Can threats be acceptable for
doing one’s job?
Are those using them powerful
slobs?
Can
the rule of law be held by some, in contempt?
Can it be undermined if some
try this, and attempt?
Does anyone need to apologize
if they are running the show?
Even if their explanations
sound trite and hollow
Are bribery, corruption, and
fraud really evil?
Does it become acceptable, if
corruption becomes normal?
