PROBITY

 




PROBITY

 

 

Confession felt cowered silent,

The human mind betrays resilient,

The ambit of lure indefinite impede,

Always not possible to proceed, (1)

 

Impulsive thought flows, tense,

Irked mind's dirty play intense,

Physical attraction infinite irk,

Thirsty heart, seeks, dares risk, (2)

 

It has happened to me, sadly,

Hundred running claim madly,

What is not achievable for lives?

Fight it our bitter battle lives, (3)

 

They say openly or disguised,

Plays none attached realized,

Sadly, confess, my loophole lit,

One among a million grab tight, (4)

 

Cruelty exists hideous in implicit,

As long as looting hides deceit,

Play a gentle, polite, sober life,

Under the belt preserve knife, (5)

 

Wait, mean me, not murderer,

Knife helps to cut, purse fear,

How many educated learned,

Siphoned a million, cornered, (6)

 

Clarion public service donate,

Manipulated, stolen, yet resonate,

Modern lives sycophant edge,

Cleanly swindle asset praise, (7)

 

Why not me? leader, thinker,

Amass unholy assets trickier,

Con, not bracket money, land,

Coteries female friends stand, (viii)

 

Spend money after them holy,

Support to sinful life solemnly,

Blind support with lies sweet,

Powerful position status meet, (9)

 

Yet sing for their mentor, pray,

Get commands, wink, hell prey,

Night club parlor red-light sad,

Night time prowl, jackals mad, (10)

 

Dawn break, white dress, smile,

They have children, wife, style,

Respected personality, decent,

Society hails media quiescent, (11)

 

Money flows change hands lit,

Affluence suave exchange feat,

Ah, lead my life one of them fit,

Showed grit for a million explicit, (12)

 

Courage dear to loot, daylight,

Law bends suit moral upright,

I shouted clarion equality hail,

Equal distribution booty quell, (13)

 

Age cruel vulture steals spine,

Bending not for risks, I resign,

Probity for a fox unholy undue,

Recluse, opted, stay alone, queue, (14)

 

Not me, not them, generation hit,

Probity, upper-class status emit.

To the root rotten greenery link,

Sabotage honesty fruitful sink. (15)
