Short Commentators Poems

Partisanship hinders compromise
Oblivious voters put cronies into power
Likeability trumps substance
Idiotic commentators bicker
Tension builds amongst the people
Idealouges pollute the system
Charming individuals manipulate
Society falls apart...

I hear snapping jaws of intolerance
and hatred, dripping with bile of
irrational anger: stoked, stroked, fired
by pseudojournalists and narrow-minded
commentators spinning fabrications
like deadly spiders in darkened holes,
each web of deceit mending the false
strands, repeatedly sheared by truth,
how dare they take the sacred name
of painted Patriots protesting....

The skater falls
The girl bawls
The agony of mistake
So much to forsake

Dreams realized
Fans and commentators idealize
A flawless routine
An injury not foreseen

The blade glides
The coach guides
The thrill of winning
Their head spinning

The loser's misfortune
Points earned, only a portion
Their head bowed in emotional upset
Replaying the error, lots of regret

The winner soars
The loser closed doors...

Samantha, my cat, put on her glasses
and sat by the tv today..
Besides being cute she's very astute
at keeping winter blues at bay..

Around the world
There are happenings

Mindset in so many ways
Passing the days gone by

Cries into shouts
Needing ears to listen and understand
Words to express
Poets being their own Commentators
As words turn
The mind explores
As highways accelerate
Words become dramatic
Active and aware
60 Minutes Swirl

A civil war in the making today
Dividing the folks in the USA
I blame the TV stations loud and clear
They do not listen, commentators don't hear

They want to stir us up and make us mad
They divide us truly, they are horrible and bad
A civil war. I fear it is coming my way
We have never been this divided in the USA

We used to be one, a nation under God.
This has changed drastically, with a simple nod
Social media is partly to blame
Help us God, this is no longer a game!...
