Analysis of Corruptinitus



Who has yet not been infected.
To then begin defending,
Their lustful ways.
Given up to submit to temptations.
With a bartering to trade or pawn.

It has always been what one knows to expose.
Done with whoever agrees kept to keep,
Secretly between themselves.
With an oath of allegiance to pledge.
And today corruption and disrespect,
Are neck in neck heading towards...
The ending of all races and honesty to face.

Normalizing a diseasing of mentalities.
Corruptinitus.
Normalizing a diseasing of mentalities.
Capitalism.
Normalizing a diseasing of mentalities.
Materializing to idolize,
Possessions.
Symbolized,
As the most important thing to have in life.
With a variety of it to worship, love and adore.
How much one can hoard and store,
A collection of worthless souvenirs.
With a pointlessness to feed,
An obsession one has with excess.

And denial.
A denial...
That may or may not have something to do,
With people losing their minds.
Yet finding themselves feeling entitled,
To be...
Tastefully crazed.
In just the right appropriate way acceptable.
To leave a valued impression,
Of pretentiousness.
Suitable for dinner parties.
And the telling of tall tales!
