News

Too often
The TV media
Makes news into
Entertainment at the
Cost of objectivity even
Using subjective clips of
The agony of victims so
I wonder if how if media
Would interview those
WW2 concentration
Camp inmates just
Before they go to
The showers or
As they totter
About half
Starved
Or an
Exclusive
With the kids
Hiding in the shit
House on how they
Feel about Nazi policy
Or black lives matter
Or is abortion ever
Justified and do
The kids feel
Safe about
Returning
To school
Or how
Does
It feel to
Try and reach
Ten at Auschwitz.
Maybe journalism needs
Less patter on air and
More hard facts on
Graft and political
Corruption and
Why promises
To voters are
Claimed but
Not kept
And if
Any
Review
Board for
TV media practices
Should be enacted or why
The FCC fails to enforce standards.
Maybe next we’ll get on-air time
To ask the kids in the chicken
Wire border cages if their
Concrete floor is hard
Or if they get two
Vegetables and
Should catsup
Packets on
A happy
Meal
Burger count
As a second vegetable?
And do they miss their mom
Or dad or aunts or cousins
And have they finally
Rehabilitated their
Illegal urge to
Make their
Home in
America?
News at six.
