Poem Title:
Poem
When the definition of Democracy Comes negated at both the cost and price of freedom of speech And being told what we can and can not say or do That to me then becomes an overreach and abuse of power Unless you let it be known to the voting people and general public as well And after doing that so to notify the editors of the dictionary and Wikipedia But don't waste your time telling the so called free press or media They never let the truth get in the way of a good story and print and go to press on behalf of there pay master's It's the reason why fake news has flurished is the scourge , bane and curse and is so prevalent today A modern 1st World problem invading our brains from all directions with subliminal messages Otherwise why would would corporations make such large election contributions or feel the need to advertise Beceause at the end of the day they are businesses after all And who but they expect bang for there buck and a return on there investment There are two side's to every story and the truth is often somewhere in the middle Sadly for all of us we only are told or given one side's version of a story And the truth is buried middle deep in small print underbeath the staples Binded hidden from prying eye's like a fire extinguisher encased in a glass red box With the word's written on it break incase of emergency When plausible deniability is the only excuse that will do and make any sense at all When you have just used up the last of your Nine lies And it's now a minute to the bewitching hour of ten And as the age old saying goes why on earth should or would we wish to choose the question The news and what we have been told if it wasn't true surely that would not be allowed Otherwise that means it must have been green lit by those we placed our trust in and voted into positions of power And who on earth of us would rather prefer not wish or choose to believe When the lines between a lie and reality have now become so blurred We simply no longer can not distinguish bettween them
