News, Bah, Humbug

News, Bah, Humbug
Miracle Man
1/16/2025

I was watching commercials
and was interrupted by news.
Read by opinionated anchors
with vastly dissenting views.

It set me to quietly thinking
which view, if any, might be true.
Would this be the morning
I saw truth makes it’s debut.

Each channel I turned to
gave it’s own political slant.
But before news time ended
they would quickly recant.

Then it’s back to commercials
which cause me to yawn.
But they pay for the news
from sunset until dawn.
