Mercenaries
by DCDave

The front page keeps us ignorant
The op-ed page provides the slant.
Excuse me, but I must refuse
To treat this shameless swill as news.
I'm more than just a bit annoyed
To find so many folks employed
By the Post and by the Times
To hide the most egregious crimes,
Committed so perfidiously
By the ruling powers that be.
At times I think these people must
Have no threshold of disgust
When I see the things they'll say
And save the sum of things for pay.

David Martin
