Why does the covert
Cream Icing Agency
insist on killing writers
journalists novelists
with a mandate necessary
a pulse world conscience
in phony fake suicides
hardly original Old Bean?
Or creative use of talent
why not flip recruit a few?
Makes a nice change from
megalomaniac dictators
corrupt foreign governments
renowned for suppression
torture corruption civil rights
violations of their own citizens.
The free pen is indeed
mightier than the sword
but you already know
that wet work G Man.
Is that why your agency fears
independent voice of integrity?
Ethics streets above dirty deeds
black ops covert secret CIA policy.
Integrity writers must reclaim
high moral sacrosanct ground
government policy ends justifies
means left so dismally vacant.
