Nightly Newsworthy: a new poem |
|
they talk to us every night calm, glib, glossy smiles and hair
neatly prepackaged speech all tidy for our consumption no indigestion no anger
no thinking
underneath the oil roars out fouling our lives drones bomb the kids bloody girls stoned in the sand for lost virtue and honor young men waterboarded for lies
while the nightly newsworthy puts us to sleep

This is REALLY GOOD - and should, IMHO, be posted in GD!!!
It's topical and insightful - political poetry.
