Killing the truth?

Freedom, choice, tolerance
manifestos of a generation,
febrile with their views,
social warriors
cultural reformers,
yet are they killing the truth?.
Media spin
to mould opinion,
here comes a headline,
busily pursuing
self preservation,
yet are they killing the truth?.
Corporate greed
with ill gained profit,
ruthlessly preying on want,
that shopping spree
right now gratifies,
yet are they killing the truth.
Our fragile planet
in mortal hands, 
asks for gentle care,
we call it bluff
ignoring warning,
yet are we killing the truth?.
Political elite
calls on favour,
power over principle,
yet we follow
like we're helpless,
can we keep ignoring truth?
