David Mchattie Poet Rhyme

My Advice To the Media

Please be silent and let your burbling
    succumb to autumn's breath.
Where your caterwauling and cacophony
    will hopefully meet a timely death.
Please be silent as your thrumming is an
    affront to all who read this space.
Where your clamor and your blaring
    have become the cause for our disgrace.
Please be silent for there are far better
     voices straining to be heard.
And repeating a prevarication in louder tones
    does not make it less absurd.
Please be silent as your clatter is made bitter
    by a wretched desperate throng.
Who feast upon each bit of meat you tear,
    no matter right or wrong.
Please be silent as you add nothing of value
    to a discourse that has lost its humble way.
With your pathetic desire for fear and chaos
    to make dark the light of day.
So my friend, my dear dear friend, please be silent
    as there are things you need to hear.
As when an Angel who by the Grace of God
    wants to whisper in your ear.
"If you must create this hell on Earth,
    do it quietly and please contain your stress.
You have kept us up for far too long
    and we all need to get some rest."

                    The End

Panagiota Romios February 10, 2021 at 4:45 PM Hi David. They are louder than ever! 2/10/2021 Worse... censorship has reared its ugly head. I only listen to those not out to destroy the USA. Very few like tha The destructioneers want them shut up. Midnight in Moscow? Call the KGb. It's not funny. Panagiota

Gershon Wolf November 7, 2020 at 6:43 PM Amen! to the 'nth' power! Well-spoken, David. Thanks, Gershon

Jack Horne November 3, 2020 at 11:45 AM yes, a very clear message that many would like to say to the media

Sara Kendrick November 2, 2020 at 5:26 AM During this time it is good to find a channel that doesn't do commercials like one of the movie channels. I get tired of hearing it and turn it on one of the music channels. Thanks for stopping by my page. I enjoyed reading your work. If Trump goes back in will they continue to put him down for another 4 years? Sara

Gershon Wolf October 29, 2020 at 5:51 PM The media moguls should read every word of this, David. Here's to 'throwing the bums out!' :) gw
