Bbc News

Watching the News
On the BBC
The British Broadcasting Corporation 
I realize I have to pay a license fee
Or face prosecution 
In order to own my home T.V
But what am I paying for
Why am I forced into supporting 
The governments agenda and point of view
Beamed into my home
Devoid of any objectivity 
Or backing up of the relayed facts
We are blindly expected
To place our faith
That what we are told
Is beyond reproach 
We shall not question 
Or we are conspiracy theorists 
Or in denial of the truth
But who's truth 
And who are you tell me my truth
Without all the facts 
And objectivity 
Is this democracy
