Dilemma of a Journalist

Looking at the vast horizon
I whipped and wonder where to depart
My move could hurt some citizens
But I had no intention to disregard
Their opinions to have me holding around
But viewing at the broader point of view
The town is no longer safe and sound
Sooner it would be placed under a curfew
Where no one is supposed to be hanging around

The Town Council and the local Police
Are the perpetrators
Gloomed days hit with crisis
It’s not going to be better
Until someone cured the diseases

I was just an out of Towner
An honest living journalist
Who’s trying to dig out the truth
Behind the truce
Leading to the coup
The Governor was on the loop
So as the Mayor
Who are out of desire
To fight back the collaborators
Who had win over their voters

Leadership was changing seats
Violence has erupted in discreet
The cowards has retreat
Fear to take the beat
I could close the crack
And heal the wounds
Utterly with a soft tone they asked me to pack
And leave them real soon

A threat that my life will be at stake
Is something that keeping me awake
