These days corruption isn’t limited to political systems alone. It’s creeping into different systems like schools, offices and more. Corruption isn’t just a theme, it’s a virus that stems up from greed. People are never satisfied, they always want more even if it means taking it forcefully.


There so much corruption in my country, it’s become part of our culture. In a country where we’re said to have a democratic system of government, the people have little or no freedom to choose thier leaders or speak out.
The Higher ups are taking food from the mouth of the less privileged, leaving them helpless. How a lot of people are surviving is something that needs to be studied. We work hard day and night, only to be told our hard earned money is not enough. 

Prioritising their personal needs over that of the people they’re ruling, forgetting you can’t be a leader without a people. Imagine you’ve working in a company for years, giving them all you’ve got. Working even after work hours to meet targets and get promoted and suddenly, the promotion has been given to someone else not because they’re qualified but because they know someone that knows someone.
It’s a sad reality how corrupt the world is becoming. 

Does the world still have a chance at Justice, and where do we come in as individuals? I know for a fact that our choices shapes the kind of world we live in, but only if we step up and do our part.
