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)
