Best Journalism Poems

(Another childhood or teen years poem.)

Newsprint small talk
in Mediocrity's lead pot
rustles and gossips while,
splashed spectacularly across
the speckled page of
Society's intellect,
a murder making column one
hides the hushed massacre
of minds....

Baran baran crore Kay bunglay na bana,,
Qatil group Kay khilaf awaaz to utha,,
Haq Sach ko jhoot say na Mila....
Note.syed iqrar ul hassan shame on you.......

Many of my friends no longer watch network news 
Disgruntled by conflicting prejudicial reports 
Beholden to their network’s particular political views. 

Eyewitness accounts are dulled from retorts 
By “talking heads” paid for “expert” commentary 
Disgruntled by conflicting prejudicial reports 

Over the years we have all...

Journalism

The tellers of the truth
Those who take this to heart
End up working 
In underground newspapers
Alternatively, the internet.
Some journalists think they 
 are intellectuals
Few of them are.
So many journos in the big press
Follow the press
Faithfully write about 
The brief they have been giving
Also, do not bother...

Once there was an average Joe  

You may know  

Named Poe  

Having a soul stirring heart  

To start  

He did his society part  

Right up until riding in the Poe edict funeral cart  

Telling tales  

Artistic, entertaining,...

Writing fiction 
Has no restriction
Unlike the journal writer on the list 
Asking ‘what is this’ 
Raising their fist 
Not allowing anything to be missed 
Dependent on a quote from someone else 
Driving them insane straight to mental health 
After a reporter decides they have the...

To the cameraman who through your distant lense 
sees one man with another's wife,
and clicks and silently uploads, to expose, 
and so to make those lives implode.

Who do you see behind your shuttered home?
With wife away and children gone,
no prying eye save God's alone,
yet, still...

Hate crimes are never faked!
          …nope, that’s wrong.
Believe every woman every time.
          …not, that’s wrong.
The polar bears are dying!

WIKILEAKS

We made a decision! Secrecy is evil!
So we reveal the secrets of our democracies
(they probably won’t kill us if they catch us)
Our leader’s face is visible, public, smug,
and confined to a foreign embassy! You have 
no idea who we are!

For your sake, of course, we...

I once wrote Op-Eds for a regional daily paper
Until the new publisher thought me too liberal
He preferred to publish a sensational caper
Than alternative views, well-expressed, literal,
God forbid the public be encouraged to think
Or have the opportunity to read opposing views,
Which is primarily why many local...

With Medicaid I got my dentures so bright
To pursue each and every culinary delight
Now with swagger I sway
But DOGE takes them away
Guess it's yogurt for dinner again tonight...
