Corruption is counted
sweetest
By those who ne'er cheat.
To comprehend this nectar
Requires an honest breed.
Not one of all the corrupt
Who took the bribe today
Can tell the definition
So clear of the booty.
As he, the honest, the fool,
Through whose forbidding ears
Distant rustles and jingling
Pierce like unforgiving spears!
With all due respect and apologies to Emily Dickinson,
By those who ne'er cheat.
To comprehend this nectar
Requires an honest breed.
Not one of all the corrupt
Who took the bribe today
Can tell the definition
So clear of the booty.
As he, the honest, the fool,
Through whose forbidding ears
Distant rustles and jingling
Pierce like unforgiving spears!
With all due respect and apologies to Emily Dickinson,
Yours Truly :-)
