Poem
N.orth E.ast W.est S.outh In the North the news brays There’s no equality And adds to the fray Staged hostility In the East they mouth There’s new racial frictions Plus they, in West and South Peddle hostile fictions Don’t look to the NEWS Look to the North, East, West, and South In the North of somewhere Tangled stories are told Purposely to ensnare Minds of both young and old They serve up in the East Slick partialities Dishing a hollow feast Though we crave realities While the news is devoured By human sheep with zest A new division’s powered To sidetrack those out West These lies pass word of mouth Are echoed on the news Not to North, East, West, and South Until most agree with their views Don’t look to the NEWS Look to the North, East, West, and South What’s new is not their news What’s new is coming forth It’s to see through their ruse That is not pointed North What’s news is our decision Whether it comes from the East Not a corporate vision Used solely to fleece Us, with their practiced stealth Used to deplete our nest So look out for your wealth That won’t vanish in the West Make sure the news is vouched Obtained from checked sources And try books from the South Or take some logic courses Look North, East, West, and South For what is really news And don’t let into your house The tricks they always use North, East, West, and South will Provide us with the clues To always live where peace will Be the only news we choose Don’t look to the NEWS Look to the North, East, West, and South
