Am I incorruptible
Will I always have your interests
Will I rightfully do what’s best

Stand in stewardship and solidarity
Never use the word charity

Will I maintain my integrity
Or…

Will the promise of riches guide me
Chip away my humanity
To unrecognizability

Am I incorruptible
Although I’d like to think so
Until tempted, I cannot know
