VERY GOOD, I'd say more but I am not political, I am poetical (a poem of mine.) Surely you know that you have to read/comment on Soup to be read & receive comments? That's the way of it. Acceptance issue & u s/b read. I keep mine sincere though, I must live sincere, so I won't say a thing rather than solicit insincere comments in return (I still get them, everyone does.) You would like "Universal Deluge"/9-2-16 & "World Wierdness"/2-11-17 (I promise, no more assuming unless asked). Enjoyed this.

We are never told the truth, even when given facts (whose facts?), but still, in my opinion, people shouldn't be allowed to read or spread news until educated about objective fact news and opinion news. Facebook and other media took the news train off the track. I get ill if I think about it too long.

You are fortunate to live in a poetical world rather than political one. This poem arose from the typical state of affairs we get to hear on the evening news, just more of the same layers and layers of corruption that never gets fully exposed - excuse the rant! I don’t comment much on others poems here, mostly using it as place to easily record mine, the vast majority of which are crap! Lol. Thanks for the recommendations!
