Whistleblower Blues

Whistleblower Blues ?? Here in Bolehland, some one blew a whistle on some perceived wrong doings... And this land of peverted justice, the very act of such whistle blowing... Is a magnet for police attention and intense investigations... Incredibly not for exposing the wrong and criminal acts... But for the greater offence of breaching the Official Secret Act... Even to the common man in the street, it is almighty strange. .. Exposing an illegal act, even when you have the facts, is in itself illegal... So in a recent case, the whistleblower gets sentenced to 18 months in jail ... The police, they get commended and the approving nods of a job well done... What of the criminal wrongs, all securely hidden in the folds of OSA... The perpetrators, they continue to stay hidden as officers in the government... Fault them not, they work for the government, who are we to give comments.... In Bolehland, laws are aplenty and its interpretations so many.... If you are in the right company or side of the goverment, don't worry... Things grey or black, you can never tell them correctly alright.... For unseen hands are at work, as puppeteers in a marionette show at night... Whistleblowers here in Bolehland, it's time to stand up all puffed up to blow... Blow loud and clear, blow all you can, for then Bolehland may have a chance to glow...
