Honestly True

There are two noble words 
which today are seemingly so rare 
in the media at large 
which seems to lack this pair 

We are the worst for their lack 
this indeed is honestly true 
nobody seems to be known for them 
little evidence that they do 

Can we trust what we read? 
or even what we hear? 
the press say what they like 
they don't have any fear 

Oh to hear real truth 
fairness and justice to our ears 
listening to honesty in speech 
that would calm our fears 

Most we hear makes us sick 
wish this evil would go away 
just to see these two words 
ruling on high in our day
