In the sacred land called Bharat
Corruption has become a habit.
From top brass in authority
To the lower sections and aam aadhmi!

But the menace has gained strong roots
Into every sphere and profession;
All the good that is being done
Is offset by corruption.

Blame corruption for many evils
And vices that plague society;
It is the cause for democracy
Being unable to deliver its fruits!

It is reason for rich becoming richer,
And the poor turning poorer;
It is the cause of price-rise,
And taxes exorbitant!

It is why black-money grows
And black-marketing prevails;
This is why India remains quite poor,
And under developed among world nations!

If only corruption can be curbed,
India will become a paradise;
A billion souls can live in peace,
And prosperity will dwell upon all!

Thanks to one great Indian soul,
Anna Hazare for awakening Indians
Against corruption – root cause of poverty!
