Ode to a Journalist
You made up your mind to view the world
With different eyes —eyes recessed, eyes inundated with lustre,
Straining to catch every flight of the dancing seasons that hurled
Man and beast beyond frontiers with baluster.
You are the town-crier of our time, delivering messages printed on

Journalist and Jotter
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
Journalist should trust news - filled jotter,
Their minds firm; sure legs that don't totter.
No lumbering of facts like hewer,
All junks to not escape the sewer.
Truths clean jotters twist not nor slaughter,
From

Temporal Dilettante Journalist
Temporal Dilettante Journalist
David J Walker
no-thing need not name the nameless
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 on follies blanket
the argot of a fervent plea
omnifarious frivolity

God With Journalists About Lucifer
“Sorry, I’m not reconsidering Lucifer’s expulsion.
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!
And that was the much God had for The Journalist
For every snatched story daring some twists
And sometimes from their live interviews
Hatching a few more with sleazy reviews

Tribute To a True Journalist
When, like your own very death, you hear,
Early morning, in an unexpected hour;
That a person who you have been seeing,
Every day, as a journalist, and admiring;
His realistic reporting on things and events,
As original as they are with full commitments;
Is no more and you'll not hear him anymore,
And his soul toward highest heavens sore…

This was what

On Hell of a Journalist
Man, I understand,
Many can’t falsehood withstand,
The rationale for it confusing,
And a precious idea start refusing …
But grab, I promise you the calming details;
One should know what a thing entails …
Please, it’s all about a step moving in exaggeration,
To what actually happened, a slight recreation.
Claims that the jabbing finger was a pen knife,
That luckily couldn’t claim

Mentor Manto
My work is not as factual as yours
You have done extraordinary work to expose men
Kali Shalwar is a pioneer in the field of literature
What a cultural masterpiece of Art & Romance
You have truly unclothed the nakedness of society
Please teach me moral and ethical values
Inspire me encourage me and update my software.

Its a Bicycle To Ride
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 rider has died”.

Journalist
The journalist may be
nosy and noisy,
but must be fair and
truthful as he can be.
His demanding art
requires him to be so.
Between public matter
and private affair,
the lawful fine distinctions
he must know!

Genuine Journalist
.
The genuine journalist must be nosy but fair.
His profession strictly requires him to be so.
But between a public matter and private affair,
the legitimate, fine distinctions he must know.
His nose for news must be tempered by discretion,
that sharp

There was once this noted journalist
Who was fond of making lists
His stories lacked the punch
For he always followed his hunch
But the event always missed
