Resist! Poem by DM W

We're living in a crass age of distorted facts:
Courtesy of embedded journalists and hacks;
Courtesy of governments and their dark actors.
It's a wanton world, where noble whistle blowers
Are now criminalised, and crucified like Christ.
Truth is incarcerated; lies proliferate.
And consciousness is slowly being corroded.
The mainstream media merely confirms people's
Deep seated prejudices. We must awaken
From our prolonged sleep, and turn against our jailers.
