Tom Wright Poet Lyric

Duh, Tom,

Duh, Tom, 
(If You Don’t Like It Don’t Watch It) 
12/18/2021

Each new day saturates me,
with more negative news.
Causing me to fight feelings,
of gloom and despair.
Most times news seems slanted,
fitting political views.
And those responsible,
pretend to be unaware.

I now have instant access,
to all parts of the globe.
They report negative things,
that I don't need to know.
A journalist is assigned,
to continue to probe.
Then report their slanted findings,
to me, blow by blow.

I could just turn the TV off,
but then at whom would I scoff.
