The News Today
The news I heard today it was not news
just different folk with different views
dependent on the audience they need
the left, the right, all spoken to mislead.
Yet somewhere hidden within was the truth;
childless widows that we see are not Ruth.
These actors who are paid to scream and cry
demand a tooth for tooth, an eye for eye
post poking sleeping lions with a stick
while news, does its usual cherry pick.
