Timothy Mattson Poet Quatrain

Chasing Faux News

For years now, they have survived,
    Through deceitful imitations.
Maneuvering within a landscape they
    Support, with few limitations.

Yet recently, this crazy fox, seems to be
    Running from a pack of legal hounds.
Dodging overgrowth & accountability,
    Through some forested, judicial grounds.

This hunt is a lengthy one, stretching
    Beyond torn fences and dominion.
As the tireless legal canines progress,
    Tailing the scent of lies and opinion.

Ultimately this prey will fall to capture,
    Along with its predatory nature, reduced.
While remaining livestock gains some relief,
    And the appropriate people, can rule the roost.

John Lawless September 16, 2022 at 4:53 AM NOTE TO BOTH PARTIES....LET THEY WHO ARE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONES..... Timothy Mattson September 18, 2022 at 5:20 AM Thank you John for your comment, as I am reminded of mine constantly. Since my arm isn't quite what it used to be, I believe my effort was more like tossing a small pebble, compared to some of the boulders that have taken flight. Beyond that, my question is can we avoid the avalanche that may follow?
