The Daily Snewz : Satirical Rant

Watching the festering global sores of mankind This propaganda called news, has on rewind Images are shown for their shock value Then compromise the effect with their marginal views Atrocities are shown, religious zealots leak out But the story's one sided, free thinkers have doubts Political pundits push, independence for all Third world economies propped up from the fall Global warming is real, eager scientists report Our president's vacationing at a private resort The impoverished are starving, the land of milk and honey Abundance receding, the food banks want money Hatred and bigotry, open wounds from the past With military surplus, revolutionaries are gassed This relentless bombardment is numbing our senses While access to our country is being prohibited by fences Our children aren't safe, their education is lacking International larceny from subsidized hacking Opinions are based on the images we see Ephemeral sadness declines instantly This biased information, which we receive Is one sided and filtered, leaving us deceived an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
