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..... Pete Yuhas
