A journalist should not bear any label!

Whether Pro-Conservative or Pro-Liberal -

Pro-Democrats, Pro-Green or Pro-Republican -

Pro-Labour, Pro-Gay or Pro-Lesbian!

Pro-West, Pro-Israel or Pro-Palestine!

The only title seems appropriate is pro-human!

 

Labelling only divides people with burden of bearing!

Truth becomes partisan interpretation illusive!

The irritation of stickiness from coated adhesive

Leads to yellow journalism of infinite gossips!

                                                                                                                                                    

A journalist should always back fellow journalists!

Must never look for ‘news source’ with profit motives!

Must not give in to kidnapping, beheading by terrorists

Knowing they could very well be disguise of imperialists!

 

A journalist must not be afraid of universalism!

Which is beyond all goodness of socialism and capitalism!

The only thing must be exposed is any form of Neo-ism!

Feeling proud they hold the key to democratic humanism!
