Fragmented Verse
My fragmented verse
hardly terse,
blatant and unrehearsed -
little snippets uncaged
inked upon the written page
random thoughts, abbreviated rage;
just like the evening news
death, disaster, scandals untrue and true
for the visionary review;
it could be any one of us who knew
him or her, me or you
waiting for our cue,
with all our flaws and past mistakes
what's left to take
the news that's fake?
and like the cable analysis of the few
exaggerated and often misconstrued
the reality is barely ever truly viewed;
cancel culture, lie, and truth
who pays the final cost and dues?
Just me and you.
