Goebbel’s Heirs



Goebbel’s Heirs

The Fourth Estate is now a disgraced state
Bias has spread from the editorial to the journalist slate
No longer is honesty and integrity their clarity
They view justice and independence offensively

You see, the Fourth Estate has been seduced by the political power ELITE
Once a word of honor now dragged down in defeat
First there was covert embarrassment but now it’s overt and brash
Betrayal of self, the suicide pact for position, access and cash

They stand on the hands of trusting Main Street
Scornful, seeing dumb docility unable to resist their beat
Thinking they believe what they’re told for The People are not bold
Alas, great lies become believed imagined truths of gold

Fool us once then fool us twice, revenge becomes The People’s bitter vice
Eyes will view but minds will disbelieve and emotions will be ice
The fall of the media joining their pioneer named Goebbels of the Reich
Propaganda collapsing like the New York Times’ stock price
