DEFENSE

DEFENSE

Grew up, an uncanny sense acquires

How to speak situations require,

The mastery acumen automatic,

Convinced most fooled sarcastic, (1)

 

Play with innocent eyes, soften,

Confused events believable often,

Not a crime escaped secretive lit,

Defense to save life, deceit defeat, (2)

 

Unashamed confess, withstood,

Depravity, discrimination stood,

Merit intelligence but moneyless,

Surprised disqualified suppress, (3)

 

Raise their head, hollow, tirade,

Influencia in society masquerade, 

Browbeat intelligentsia controls,

Unequal hegemonic loot patrols, (4)

 

Truth prevailed less hidden news,

Defense nationalist, patriot use,

Spread the right information cover,

Secured their country to power, (5)

 

Let corruption perish, honesty stay,

Defense crucial information way,

Far more potent than weapon armory,

Exposing corruption crime worry, (6)

 

These invisible resources source,

Unknown undercover, of course,

Top headlines of new papers hit,

Socked the country filter defeat, (7)

 

Shadowy reporter risked life text,

Newspapers publish secrecy best,

The fifth columnist exposed reform,

The press is the fifth column of freedom, (viii)

 

The pillar of the constitution, strong,

Defense face is press act media long,

Crucial these editors threat face,

Safe country disintegrate surface, (9)

 

Defense not from outside, lesson,

Fracture divides leads to treason,

Fracture is political ethos acute,

Public, silent, unaware, stay mute, (10)

 

Defense of country press protects,

Analysts predict catastrophe detects,

No reward praise reporter editor,

Defensive in defense write secure. (11)
