'As telling lies
Is dangerous,
To it, you
Have to be averse! '
Parents, teachers
And society
Made me, cherish
This mentality.
Along the age road
The hardest way a new
Lesson I did upload.
Awaits those,
More risk
The truth
Who opt to speak!
For reporting strife,
Beating to
An inch of their life,
Or hacking them with a knife
Detaining the innocent
Has become rife.
Yet come what may
Speaking the truth,
Is what I choose!
For journalists round the world languishing behind bars for speaking the truth
