The Newspaper

Keep your morning informed 
With a piece of newspaper
Stay connected with the rest of the world
Besides your small confined self-centred world
Stay up-to-date with 
The critical news
The breaking news
The latest news
The in-depth reports
Like dropping a bombshell into a dull world
But news can't simply be surfaced
Without evidence of a witness 
Or some physical proofs
Or else it will be charged
But a piece of news after 
A long court case or a suspension
Is no more first-hand
And no more attracting
And a piece of news incomplete
Is no more a reflection of the truth
A piece of newspaper will gradually become 
A piece of tissue paper,wrapping paper or waste paper 
And the world will simply forget it 
As a past event or a piece of history 
The world won't learn any lesson 
As it is no more news by tomorrow
