News Junkie
I get it when I want it
it is always on tap
it can be a rap
or maybe a trap
to suck you to
celebrity crap
yet it was the
lifeblood of
my job not
missing a fact
analysing
transmitting
to others
the world
as it is
and was
yet knowing
that truth
lies open
to all lies
that lay
in wait to
ambush truth
for media studies
of any ilk are
dislked by those
press barons
masters of spin
as one tv hack
said of Saville's
victims they are
everyday ordinary people
so inferior to her and him
so do not panic block
your ears close your eyes
today's news is yesterday's
fish and chip newspaper
literally or metaphorically
yet nuggets of truth are
found if not now just lift
yours eyes from paper
or from app by looking
at people or look on
this winter's day
and smile since
spring will come
