Charged in the press
Tried upon TV
Accusation
Equals felony
Our conviction
Has much gravity
Should you be our
Current enemy
Mainstream journalists must write what is right
Or find that they might not write so long
Corporate media flexing their might
Define what is right and what is wrong
Industry seeks violence to incite
Conflict assures coffers remain strong
Indignation the fuse to ignite
The blood lust that will define the throng
The leader du jour
His fatwa declared
Position secure
With grievances aired
To prove that he’s sure
Must show he’s prepared
Destroy or injure
An enemy snared
And work to ensure
That people are scared
Of thoughts deemed impure
Dissent that is shared
Succumb to the lure
Of ethics impaired
Working to assure
No victims are spared
Death by accusation
The elimination
Of the rights of the accused
Regardless location
Prestige or vocation
Pleas to reason are refused
Social implication
Ethics obviation
In justice the law recused
Royal proclamation
Legal termination
Human power is misused
Convicted in the press
Weak evidence or less
Profane pundits profess
The audience impress
Something about the dress
Effective use of stress
On fiction they obsess
Go backwards as progress
Imagine war as chess
A punch as a caress
Murder obliged noblesse
Explosives as finesse
Still others dispossess
Captive under duress
Too tortured to confess
See suicide success
No thought to reassess
No grievances redress
Corruptions coalesce
Thus justice we suppress
Death by accusation
See elimination
Of the rights of the accused
Transcending the nation
Every role and station
Human thinking is confused
Proposed liquidation
Politic predation
Crime so readily excused
Insane instigation
Fearsome fabrication
Minds such thinking has suffused
Unproven allegation
Equals condemnation
Human being rights abused
Just assassination
Begs retaliation
For all those so poorly used
Bloodlust satiation
Power validation
Best behaviors disabused
Wake from hibernation
Find no consolation
Once the blindfold is refused
