BY ALEM HAILU
A ship sustaining
A tiny crack or thick
Is destined to sink,
Awaits the same story
A pilferers-leached country!
All the grotesque
Faces of corruption
Embezzlement, bribery, red-tape
Nepotism
Task procrastination
What is more inefficient
Resource utilization
Must not go out of
A developing
Nation’s radar,
Expected corruption to bar
In its bid to spur
The ship of development far!
Needs no less attention
Fighting the new faces of corruption
Such as post placement
By political affiliation
Divorced from talent,
Which should enjoy
A greater weight!
