The Mockingbird

Unaware there was a paradigm shift on tv I heard a mockingbird outside on a nearby tree new breaking news coming on the tube why the bird continued to mock, I hadn't a clue More confusion ensued from my living room view as I sat on my couch not knowing what to do trying not to be distracted by the mocking bird I continued to watch taking in every word The news people seemed confused themselves as they tried to convince their ambiguous audience at first they leaned to the right, then the left as my mk ultra brain felt even more bereft I heard the mockingbird chant, fake news, fake news as I thought this crazy bird doesn't have a clue sitting there ignoring the bird hypnotized by the screen I believed every word from the news breaking machine. 3-11-18
