Root Out Corruption
We heaved a little sigh

Where world can live in harmony and peace without fear

National wealth is pushed outside country
The poor nation is at the mercy of almighty
Not millions but billions are siphoned
Illiterate and mafias have totally cloned
It is new breed and now coming on scene
The murderers and gang rapists are freely seen
Not a single work is done without favor
Whole political system needs one tremor
What do we do then to counter such move?
How can we unite and forcibly remove?
Whether to face the game of ballots or bullets?
How can we simply witness such corruption or forget?

Adding more and more sufferings for poor public
No grains and no food for two square meals
How much loss is reported or revealed?
