The Splendors of Dawn Poetry and Short-Short Story Competition, where words become a powerful force for change announces its new theme, “Whispers of Justice: Verses Against Corruption.” The competition calls upon poets and writers to raise their voices against the pervasive scourge of corruption through evocative and compelling verses.
Corruption is a cancer that erodes the fabric of society, sowing seeds of inequality, injustice, and despair. “Whispers of Justice” invites poets to explore the myriad ways corruption impacts individuals, communities, and nations. From the embezzlement of public funds to the exploitation of the vulnerable, from the betrayal of trust to the erosion of democracy, corruption manifests in various forms, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
