breaks the morning in disguise 
shakes the shame and wakes the shameless 
quench tormented turbid eyes 
the bootless errand realized 

who shakes the hand but shuns the banquet 
a polymath of nullity
a picnic spread...

Whose writing, brought down
Drug dealing men

A journalist jokes not with jotter, 
His news - hunting hours makes shorter,
To the task devotion much truer
And to the penned down stick, though fewer

It’s a bicycle to ride
On a death-free roadside,
The killer cars gone to hide,
Busy traffic at its lowest tide
And catastrophe unlikely to glide!

So, why my time now bide?
For its tyres won’t ever slide;
All the slippery muddiness dried,
My concerned eyes, watchful and wide…

Journalists to never report “A...

I’d had him kicked out with obvious revulsion,
The entire saga wearing My Divine Compulsion”
While still felt by My Angels The Celestial Convulsion!

For every snatched story daring some twists
And sometimes...
