Purveyors of Disruption

The winds of chaos run amok
To cause my soul to stress
As those about the Evening News
Delight at my distress.

These purveyors of disruption
Rot the world from within.
They fornicate their tired rubbish...
Finding glee in every sin.

We're they shunned by friends and family?
Did their psyche take a hit?
We're they picked last for indoor soccer?
Did their puppy up and quit?

I'm at a loss for explanation
Why they cheer the coming storm...
Twisting now the flesh of sainted truth
To keep their masters warm.

Do I dare to dream a simple dream
Knowing a little love is all they need.
But until they change... such heinous ways...
They'll get no love from me.

                The End

David,,of course people hate watching news. Most channels lie without a conscience. I only know of two not out to make you insane. Accursed, be the lies they tell people. But..if you turn your back…the devils take control.that’s how idiots are elected. Lies. Our Congress is a Swamp, waiting to take away all our rights. There are a few good people ther,likeJim Jordan. Try rumble.com. No idiot Leftists Pangie

But people on the right have to make a better argument. Even here in Canada... the 'mind control' of young people is alive and well. Conservatives have to pay more attention to school boards, judges and other positions. We are losing the battle and have only ourselves to blame.

I refuse to watch them anymore. Too toxic! I am in agreement, David. Nicely penned! I love a good rant:)

I watch the news with the same type of fascination as someone who watches 'Real Housewives of Miami.'
