Fend for yourself, you're the only one you can fully trust....sometimes

I'm Media By Franklin Price 8/18/2016 I'm media, must be on top To tell whole truths would be a flop If not exciting, ratings drop And advertising bucks would stop I use this sequence to begin Find out the facts and put on spin Your loyalty and faith to win So ratings never drop again To be on top and cash receive Make small adjustments you'll believe Takes little practice to deceive The bare bones truth would make you grieve What is it that you want to hear? What kind of words to fall on ear? Ones of comfort or of fear? It's all for ratings, is that quite clear? A lie discovered, I can retract If written down, I can redact A truth I say is only fact If I did that how would you act? Went to the Hill learned from the best The home of spin its place to nest To think of self before the rest You find the truth, there'll be a test

The truth expressed so nicely through a poem ... And we live addicted to this very media world ...

So glad you appreciate it. It's a shame that it is what it is....money, money, money. To hell with integrity.
