Analysis of GO AWAY YOU CORRUPTION

Solomon Musa 1999 (Western Area Rural District)



Poem title: Go away you corruption.

Poet: Solomon Musa

O say you stubborn enemy "Corruption!".
Your presence is a complete example of destruction.
You, being a dishonest behaviour by those in positions of power.
You offer nothing good; my country's economy is sour.

You are a barrier to economic and social growth.
You bring no improvement; instead you loathe.
Bribery, extortion, embezzlement all accompanied in your name.
With you, our difficulties and stress remain the same.

In the educational sector, you are being expressed through bribery and malpractice.
The health system is mixed with bad practice.
You are a threat to sustainable development.
In you, there is minimal youth empowerment.

Wittingly, you're everywhere in the country.
In your milieu of activities, you want to claim paramountcy.
Under-the-table-transaction, money laundering, abuse of power; The growth of any nation is lost.
With national cohesion, we are poised to eradicate you at all cost.

In the public and private sectors, your tribulations always unfold.
Because of you, national development is now slowed.
The hope of many people, you have shattered.
A total example of desecration, our minds are scattered.

You're bad, and you have indelible consequences.
No self-effacement, but dystopia and delinquencies.
We must drive you" corruption ".This is a must-win fight.
With Anti Corruption Commission, we will eradicate you from our sight.

Everyone has a role in fighting Corruption.
Let us do it with integrity and ethical decision.
Please fellow citizens, let us abstain from corruptive acts.
They are ungodly; unethical, these are the facts.

Let us allow the Anti-Corruption Commission to carry out its course.
Corruption is bad, things will get worse.
It's no witch hunt, if you're part of the game.
 You must be ready to take the blame.
