The Mirage of Progress

The Divine gave Earth a balanced, righteous grace,
A sacred code to guide the human race.
Yet blind ambition leads the soul astray,
As fleeting shadows chase the light away.

The moral compass shatters in the mind,
Leaving a trail of chaos close behind.
Though schooled and learned, the captive heart will fall
To vice, extortion, and the smuggler’s call.

The phantom wealth of worldly illusion gleams,
Drowning the conscience in corrupted dreams.
They climb the ladder built on bribe and theft,
Till public trust is broken and bereft.

On delta soil where old empires grew,
The many hunger for the grand, elite few.
They trade their souls, mistaking gain for rise,
While national hope beneath the system dies.
