Corruption in the system

-

 Graceful lilac ;blinding light

Harsh white ;dark shadows 

Ocean blue;cautions voice 

Corruption has its hold

Like a sickness attache to the very core of a nation 

Like a dark cloud that threatens 

The sky's calmness

It sucks a nation 

Into a whirlpool and hardships

Prevent nation’s progress

Entangled with the strings of hunger

Swing with the flow of corruption 

Emotionally traumatized 

Intellectually denied

Our flaws lies beneath the mask

Covered and buried

Hesitant, Reluctant to show hospitality 

Displaying its splendors with mother nature's kiss of serenity and peace..

It will take more than counter-cultural popularity to effect any tangible change in our society.

It can be caused by financial troubles (lack of money to meet daily needs). B. It can be caused by family troubles (between spouses, parents and children and in-laws too). C.

E. Stress can be caused too by exacting jobs (work that task you, takes your time and energy etc). Stress affects you psychologically depression, despondency, disorientation (anger, confusion, frustration, aggressiveness etc). Secondly, it affects you physiologically: tiredness, sleeplessness, aloofness, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction, drop in productivity etc. How to come o...
