Trusting Voices?

Trusting voices? - - - - - - - - - - - - - The clock struck twelve At the night of New Year's Eve Then just in! A news breaking Of a fishing boat off a coast sinking Claimed to have been blown off By a coast guard officer with a brief That a repeat of twenty sixth/ eleven Had been thwarted with diligence But doubts with accuracy did flare As it might be another Media slander Or with Mr Minister in collusion Is media fueling our obsession For the news as the rhetoric And as Today's fashion for the civic Twisting the information to benefit Personal agendas verifying facts not a bit Thereby taking us for a ride The effect of which unfathomable worldwide On religions, politics, and ethnicities Mr Minister with Medias spitting lies For anchors of Medias love slanging matches That in effect pampers Mr Minister's stomaches But the truth has an embarrassing tendency to re-surface Unless presented with an un-doctored account base It may embarrass Media, Mr Minister, And the nation as well, the less said the better It seems jingoism is backfiring When representatives of a party came up defending Still does remain the bottom line with the Media and Ministry That they avoid misleading public unscrupulously For camouflaging patent blunders chips away At the citizen's faith in the system miserably So listen, Media and Mr Minister Just give us the facts with no breaking rumors, No exaggerated adjectives And despicable negatives and personal additives For we are not your minions That we should entertain your personal opinions For the nation needs no spin-doctors Rather trusted voices to boost our moral cores
