Don'T Watch the News

They say that . They say this.
They draw us near to the abyss 
Pointless words that fill an answer 
Said in stealth that feed a cancer

Opinions held with such conviction
Spun with guile  and only fiction
Caring not for all or many
But interest only in gold or penny

Who voted for the chinless wonder 
Why does no one see his plunder
Can a war be waged by hate
It was your vote...is it to late ?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
