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)
