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)
