Whistleblowers

Howdy folks! 

Only a person or persons who know they are doing something they shouldn't be, will have a problem with one who learns of and tells the truth. Such guilty individuals will then do all they can to smear and discredit the one who can expose them. Just this factor alone will make their guilt more obvious in spite of their intention being to hide and cover up their guilt.

When a person's caught with wrong they're doing
And another comes forward with the truth a brewing,
Damage control's immediate, put into play
By the wrongdoer especially, which is to say
All they can to smear, discredit, and condemn, 
Anyone who threatens with the truth, exposing them.

For if they can the masses, persuade,
Not to listen, their attention left unpaid,
Their deep, dark secrets will remain obscure
And so, from the people, wrong kept secure.

Whisteblowers are silenced in more ways than one
To keep the truth hidden about wrong being done.
Whistleblowers are brave to set aside their fear
And come forward with truth people need to hear.

It is a thankless mission, bringing the truth out,
When many have bought the lies. So, it's truth they doubt.
But truth is very hard to hear, when there's been betrayal,
Built around deceptive lies, makes truth seem like a fail.

Truth is only ugly and very hard to swallow,
When it has been hidden for lies to follow.
The uglier the truth becomes the longer it is hidden,
As the lies mount in number to keep it forbidden.

Wrongdoers seek out followers who are accepting of their lies
And the more they can manipulate, the better their disguise.
So, when the truth's exposed, there's many in opposition,
Unwittingly the followers defend a wrongful position.

Many remain silent for fear of being severely ostracized,
Not by the wrongdoer only but the many patronized.
Even when the truth is proven, spelled out in black and white,
Manipulated people will still against the truth, fight.

I know this to be true, as I've experienced first hand
What it's like to be ostracized, condemned, even banned
For bringing forth the truth, with proof I exposed
And people defended him and my truth, they opposed.

I've been called every derogatory name and label
For exposing lies and cover-ups to dismantle and disable.
But the wrong was not addressed, and when I defended
The truth and myself, vicious attacks against me were extended.

Then comes into play too, sometimes, two doing wrong,
And to keep each other's secrets a must comes along.
To scratch each other's backs, they make themselves a deal,
Neither will on the other tell or on the other squeal.

The numbers then of those manipulated with lies
Greatly increases to a number double size.
The whistleblower's treated like they're doing wrongs
And accountability's never placed where it belongs.

So, he carries on still, invading my privacy
Hacking into tech devices like he has the right to be.
It's only one, but a prime example, of the state we're in,
Where a wrongful deed's okay, but a rightful deed's a sin.

Intimidation and fear are the wrongdoers' tools
And they work well with both the intelligent and the fools.
Manipulation's key among and to win the smarter crowd,
For the rest will then follow once seen by others, is allowed.

Changes for the better are impossible to make
As long as false is seen as true and true is seen as fake.
Whistleblowers, unlike attention seekers, are a rare breed
And the fore not the latter is more of who we need.

Whistleblowers risk much and are noble souls, indeed,
Knowing the truth they expose, few will ever heed.
Then knowing too, they'll be plagued with unjust scrutiny,
More appreciative of their efforts everyone should be.
