Journalistic Integrity
Journalistic integrity,
give me a break
Your lies are on fire,
the devil at the gate
Journalistic integrity,
the wages of sin
All truth has been twisted,
your soul has worn thin
Journalistic integrity,
oxymoron disclosed
Two words now in conflict,
their corruption exposed
Journalistic integrity,
death by your own hand
To not be remembered,
—your lies to withstand
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
