Welcome to My Poetry Site
Remember the Whistleblowers
Thank goodness for whistleblowers
Who occasionally open our eyes
And point out abuse and corruption
And expose atrocities and lies.
Sometimes to their misfortune,
They have not fared so well--
Losing positions or jobs
For what they dared to tell.
Occasionally whistleblowers
Have gained strong support.
At other times their efforts
Have led to battles in court.
Taking a giant risk,
Some even lost their lives.
Their causes were not in vain
As long as justice survives.
Nowadays it seems
They get the third degree
And face years of imprisonment
While the villains run free.
Remember the whistleblowers;
Keep them in your thoughts.
Stop unethical abusers
From calling all the shots.
