Lies To Withstand Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

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)
