“News” “Poetry”

Speed is not accuracy.

If it bleeds; it leads…

stab at the story crazy

and watch the frenzy it feeds.

 

Why check a fact,

when you can cash a check?

Here’s a word from our sponsor,

we’ll be right back.

 

Lies dipped in rancid honey.

Served up by salivators.

Dripping corporate money.

Were those boots alligators?

 

Near news networks;

never near the news.

Quota filling wonks,

who hire only jerks.

 

Corporate greed, government fraud

disguised in dimwits,

while idiots applaud.

 

It the American Dream!

(Only achieved during sleep.)

Now here’s a money making scheme!

(You lazy sheep.)

 

Protected by none

and projected by many.

Fear for your gun,

while you earn your penny.

 

“We The People”

need to wake up.

Nobody’s threatening your steeple,

So shut the Hell up.

 

To form your opinions

simply gather your thoughts.

Avoid the news minions,

and use the brain you’ve got.

 

There is no conclusion,

it’s an ongoing battle.

If you suffer from confusion,

at least you aren’t cattle.
