Corruption Fake News

Corruption Fake News Government corruption, engulfs us every day It's bad enough we have to see the down slide on its way Many people disappear connections can't be made Obituaries so obscure the stories quickly fade Families mourn the ones they lose another heart just sinks They said (an accident) of sorts and Washington just winks Accusations rarely made It's hard to be that brave Repercussions swift and hard outcome (could be grave) Don't think that this is make believe goes back a lot of years Those very old (so we've been told) just can't get past their fears Carried on throughout the states (most people never knew) The smoke screen (that we call the news) diverts your thoughts (it's true) Working for Politico, (the apple on the string) Keeps news in line with Washington and riches it may bring They have no trouble sleeping nights their conscience all but numb When asked how did, they miss that news they're good at playing dumb.....
