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
