Clarity

 

corruption is a virus, killing the very core
of every  organization
in the same way that the political system
is trying to poison the people with
a concept that is undoubtedly used to shine a light on its perceived destructive nature

 

what is worst than a virus
is man’s inability to see with clarity
the reality of even the simplest life
situation

 

when a father has remained literally
blinded by his child’s deceitful behaviors
for supposedly  simply being childish
and longing for attention

 

when a husband refuses to listen to the truth
of how his family is a mess for being
selfish and self-centered

 

when a wife refuses to feel through
her very core that she sucks at being both
a mother and a wife, thus finding help
doesn’t make her less of a woman

 

when a child can easily sniff and
manipulate a kind-hearted parent
by playing the victim
whenever reprimanded
the fuzzy behavior of confusion
such is the effect when man
is incapable of seeing things
with clarity

 

worst than a virus
contagious than corruption
