The News
This is the age,
the mismanagement of time
when history becomes merely a fiduciary page
reveling the news to find
in someone else's view these times.
The Hannities and Carlson worlds
are indulgent foxy polar opposites proporting
of Coumos and Lemon tarts hurled
each bending and distorting
the democratic republican factions cavorting.
Barely factual or truth thiefs
misdirection misconstrued
bent and prone in adoration and belief
of focused wordings born due
from partial and half truths embued.
Who can you believe or imbibe
if you listen to both sides
bend your ears and see the hearts fried
of a republic crying opened wide
while truth and lie are far too easily denied.
