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)
