With pen and flash
They make their cash
Off others' pain and pleasure.
They start great wars
And open doors
To secrets people treasure.
They've killed many men
Who would not have been,
Though they don't intend to be violent.
Through bias and greed,
Great power is freed
When the spectators cease to be silent.
