Corruption is when people steal,
They hide the truth and make bad deals.
Money for schools and food and roads,
Is taken away by greedy souls.

Because of this, some people cry,
Some stay poor and do not know why.
Life gets hard for many each day,
Because the money is thrown away.

Corruption is wrong, we all should know,
It hurts the world and stops good growth.
If people are honest and do what is right,
The world can be better and more bright.
