A Small World

The small words

“All that`s mean nothing” not my words 
but I often think about it, when reading the newspaper
I look for the no-news the filling of space 
the news is often there and when **** flies they are taken
by surprise busy reading the headlines.
Being so wrong the want to set aside democracy and civil 
behaviour the by line has become a headline we must 
demonstrate denounce the new from the stage or pulpit
by the pompous and incompetent 
perhaps it would help to read the alternative press they 
have less to lose and don`t worry about circulations  and
no capitalist master to serve

a blow that can be remedied when we include everyone in our liberal democracy
