Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Lies To Withstand

Journalistic integrity…
  give me a break

Your lies are on fire
  there’s hell at the gate

Journalistic integrity
  the wages of sin

All truth has been twisted
  your speech has worn thin

Journalistic integrity
  oxymoron disclosed

Two words now in conflict
  their corruption exposed

Journalistic integrity
  death by your own hand

All blame you relinquish
  —your lies to withstand

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
