#Presstitutes

In not-so-far future
In a land not far away
I see a dystopian world
where corpses all around lay

With nose covered and squinted eyes
The reporters try to pry
Into the land painted red with blood
And no men left to cry

All the soap in the world
cannot cover up the stench
Of the blood on the hands of man
who pushed his brother in a trench

And for what did this
World burn down?
For there was no money,
No pearls, nor crown

It was just a small debate
that media spun out of shape
The peddlers of conflict,
evil, murder and rape.

These vultures feed on misery,
To Devil, they sold their soul
They greet you with brightly made-up faces,
And hearts darker than coal

Making news and selling them
Is profession of these #Presstitutes
Help not, but capture on camera
The plight of grieving and destitute

Secularism, Equality, Development
These ideals are just buzzwords
They would rather serve you misery
Or narrate you an ancient curse

Peace and harmony are unwanted
For they add fire to the fuel
Egging brothers to fight
They relish a good duel

People batten down the hatches
And sit tight, don’t fret, nor frown.
As in the garb of news reporters,
There’s a new breed of wolves in town.
