It would be nice if journalists and the media reported fully researched and presented articles, not slanted to any party line. If they did, things may change for the better. We the People need honesty and integrity from the media; not opinion.
The USA and Europe
By Franklin Price
07/05/2020
Today is Sunday and it's morning
And I'm watching Meet the Press
As usual it is leaning
Toward presenting leftist mess
What prompted me to write this
Was their latest Covid views
How we compare to Europe
And their Corona Virus News
Comparing to the U.S.A.,
E.U. Cases have declined
Although it has more people
I think there's something you may find
The E.U. is not one entity
It's an economic ploy
There are many countries
Independence they enjoy
Each has its own government
For its Covid to report
There is no central reason
To supply a false retort
Is testing on a par with ours?
Is there incentive there to lie?
Is Covid not discovered
Until they're about to die?
Has E.U. made Covid political?
Are they working to get through?
Each country is determining
What's the best thing it should do.
In the U.S. there's incentive
For some monetary gain
When diagnosis for the virus
Might be caused by other pain
May have gone to some center
For other predetermined cause
Then covid diagnosed once there
Should that make us think and pause?
I'm not saying all the cases
Are either wrong or right
But the longer it progresses
There is political delight
The media still slants the news
Reporting on half truths and lies
Saying E.U. cases going down
While ours are on the rise
If we take away incentives
That encourage some to lie
May find that Covid 19
Will make less, in the U.S., die
I'm only just one person
Who's concerned for our dominion
I think there's truth, I've written here
But it's only my opinion
If you think I'm onto something
Or if you know it's true
Pass this along to others
Might be something we can do.
Report it to your congressmen
And Congress Women too
Let them know, you know, what's going on
It's what your country needs of you
