Pick nd choose, shoot and scoot
Truth and morals? we don't give two hoots.
Once we reported news, now we make them.
Once we generated views, now we fake them.
Once we were the masses' voice, now we are a cacophonous noise
Once we were the nation's choice, now we are China's choirboys.
We report, we lie,
for we choose the what and the why
Our narratives, so twisted,
as if the truth never existed.
For the right amount, we can be blind, we can be conniving,
Through our filter, oh so forgiving,
Stone pelters are just exercising their right to have fun,
And Burhan Wani is just a poor head masters's son!
Everytime the nation suffers, we rejoice,
Everytime we mislead the innocent with our ploys
With every fake news, we assert our rights as free men,
And forget our duties by screaming "THEY hanged Yakub Memon".
