Of libertines in the mass media: A poem

To the world that is hopelessly blind 

to the lies that are efficaciously well-defined 

That mislead the vulnerable with evil design 

And the truth is extirpated or left behind 

Political correctness is the order of the day 

To that end, propaganda shows the hapless the way 

Where leaders with convictions are shamefully let down 

And the vicious cycle of sinful objectives comes around 

That we, in seeking, have nothing on offer  

But injustice and impropriety, as libertines proffer 

Their wilful maxims for to unswervingly cloak 

Our innocent eyes with ill-begotten hope 

Astuteness is by far the only answer 

Judiciousness to ring in by every measure 

Is what is needed to confound this deceit 

And salvage the world from going decrepit
