Praise to the
leakers who take a risk
To rout out
corruption, wrongdoings, and lies.
We have the right to
know the truth.
A thousand thanks
for opening our eyes.
Praise to the
investigative press--
Brave, ubiquitous,
and alert.
Exposing deceit and
hypocrisy means
Sometimes having to
dig up dirt.
Praise to the heroes
who fight for our rights,
Exposing themselves
to insults and scorn.
We take for granted
most of our freedoms,
The loss of which
one day we could mourn.
Praise to all the
defenders of truth.
Don’t be bullied
into submission.
Your vigilance will
guide us when
Integrity suffers
from malnutrition.
