the screen effect

Look at you in the mirror, brilliant journalist You, the journalist who seeks my gaze, You, the journalist who laughs without knowing us better, Look at you in the mirror You, the journalist who exercises your power over people, You like to be heard, looked at, But you don’t understand who we are, really Look in the mirror, twice instead of once, Instead of looking at the camera like a crocodile that devours us, Like a lion, hunting fearful zebras and unbelievers, Sure of your strength, it’s embarrassing, look in the mirror, We are more sensitive than you. We suffer for your presence here. Look in the mirror, journalist, arrogant crocodile, We’re not zebras striped with stupidity.

Ahh!! Good one. I enjoyed reading this one. I like the comparison of a poet to an innocent zebra about to pounced upon by a lion. Thank you for sharing your work with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

They should look in the mirror and see the true reflection of what they are about to write about but do they ?

Woah, this is really an Impactful write.. So impeccably you've expressed how the celebrities and people with higher fame feel when journalists script false analogies about them, trying to seek attention, without even knowing a bit about their hearts.. This poem really brings those emotions to surface.. Brilliantly written and gives voice for those being trolled by media and reporters for no reason.. Your wordplay is really powerful and I loved reading this.. Sending light & best wishes ~
