Maps

A map and
Charts allow
Us to see the
Pattern of the
Problem or the
Opportunity and
Charts clarify the
Map’s symmetry of
Knowledge whereas
All else is anecdotal so
Much drivel like Fox
News a mere glob
Of stories with
No pattern
Revealed
Only an
Anecdotal
Tally of one
Side’s views
Much like CNN
Or MSNBC no maps
Or charts to show trends
No areal representation not
Even in our few remaining
Newspapers and with no
Maps to put things in
Perspective every
Storm or fire is
A menace to
Us local
Place
Names
Leave us
In the dark
Especially when
Our electricity is cut
And our cell phones run
Down leaving us
Doubly in the
Dark but a
A map
Online or
Newsprint
Is our lifeline
Versus gossipy
Anecdotal stories
Aimed to elicit sales
Of stuff and more gossip.
Why no constant local and
Regional weather on TV
Is it distracts from the
Gossip mills of 24
Hour anecdotes
Holding our
Attention
While
Removing
Our money.
The purpose
Of all news gossip
Anecdotes is not
To inform but
To deform
Reality.
