Please Don’t Rely on the News

Poem

Step back, tune in,

Listen and see what they do,

view the viewer who’s viewing you.

Dismantle the popular channel, the instrumental panel,

The populous that just can’t grab the handle.

This is no humdrum conundrum, kid.

A peculiar sensation of this kind, 

has no business being on your mind,

the blind need to rewind.

Replay nostalgia, re-watch the reruns,

deep dive, deep

into lies told to hypnotize the bold.

Hold truth for personal use,

misinformation will string you up by a noose.

So please don’t rely on the news.
