The Ides of a Parch In March

It is the ides of March  
My throat feels parch 
It’s like we were stabbed in the back 
On the level of the Brutus attack 
They say there is a bug out there 
Stalking the air 
Taking down life’s nice modern day special things 
That keeps peace for leaders that include royal Kings 
As we say good bye to social interaction 
Allowing isolated bitterness to an acceptable attraction 
I give my gratitude for that glass of water 
From the returning reporter 
In the field
Asking the question, “what is the deal”? 
There are many ways to look at this mess 
Claiming being a member of the press 
Listen and think before one write 
Since paranoia can breed an uncomfortable plight 
Communication is important right now 
Maturity is a key in knowing how 
With my voice now clear 
Trying not to offend a Mexican beer 
Carrying on with the show 
That is about distributing information on what we think we know
