The Fourth Estate! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

The Fourth Estate!

Rating: 4.5


NEWS of North,
East, West, South &
All Directions for All,
Just In Time!

Truth, as the
BackBone;
Transperancy, as
A Motto;
Reality, as a
Passion;
Awareness, as the
Reason;
Journalism Prevails!

Sacrificing Relationships,
For Revelations Sake;
Facing Harassments,
For Uncovering Anamolies;
Risking Own Life,
For a Change in Livelihoods;

Journalists, The only
Defenders of,
Institutions & Constitutions!

Media, the Voice
Of the People;
The Lone Chance,
For the Choiceless!

Free Press,
That Encompasses &
Surpasses anything Suppressed, Oppressed,
And Tresspassed;

The Fourth Estate &
Fourth Pillar of Democracy;
Not for Gambles,
Not for Gossips,
Not for Corruption,
Not a Lobby House,
For Politicos & Corporates;
But for the 'Use of,
Information as a Public Good'!
