No news is in truth
No truth in news...

I miss the things that went before
Like journalism, and the law
That kept me safe, informed, and free
No-one left to speak for me

once again
ganso journalism

this just
in two just
flew in setting
down on
the lake
settling on
the bank
space 
future home for
to sit and wait for
egg

The 'New Math' has been around quite a while
  It's time 'Journalism' cranked up her dial
    Red pants suits are fun
    Orange be the sun
  Ms. Clinton and Trump at last reconciled...

Haq Sach ko jhoot say na Mila....

Listen to poem:

(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....

Jotting down juicy journalism 
Opening oodles of oppressed optimism    
Understanding unity usually unites universally 
Relinquishing random rants 
Naturing neat notions never noticed
All adventures allow an ample accumlation of antadotes   
Love literature like a libidinous librarians long lost lover...

Your hedonistic desires
replaced by a gonz0-journalism truth
while you stand at the precipice,
crying at the high-water mark.

you're not alone,
a whole generation
of alma matter hopefuls
gather here
to stare at the place where
kerouac could write ten novels

leave me here
to waste energy
on hedonistic, wave-crest fantasy
far rom the sting of a breaking point....

No news is good news we’ve all heard that before
that said  I’d like less bills when I open my mailbox door.
If it bleeds it leads  with more than enough yellow journalism 
where facts are shifted and twisted then shown through a tainted prism
then a little tease to keep you hanging through long commercial breaks
this isn’t the news we’re being abused and it’s giving me a headache....

Tom Cunningham takes on the Grim Reaper
In couplets, divinely humorous and keepers!

Of these, please do not hesitate to read.
Of my fateful words, you’d better heed.

Lest you sit there with a dark frown,
Looking so much like a tragic clown.

Let’s raise a glass, then to Sir Cunningham!
The best, in creative, poetic journalism!

I see trouble on the near horizon--
A nation divided just is not couth,
Unfortunately, reason is wizen
Frivolous theories accepted as truth,
Intentionally misguiding our youth
Disgraceful political grandstanding,
Foundation institutions crash-landing
News media is shaping opinions,
Honestly, journalism notwithstanding
Common folks now political minions.

Truth,
hides in
many forms.
In stories told,
pumped up with drama.
Public opinion bent,
with journalism changing,
into a distorted sideshow.
Just give us the truth and you will see,
we have a mind, we know how to think.

When you listen to the news on TV
can you really believe what they say?
First they grab with a headline,
then inflate with their views.
Keep an open mind,
wade thru the fluff.
Try to hear
the real
Truth!...

When journalism fails to deliver the facts,
And no longer apologies for shameful acts,
Constantly ending up on the wrong tracks,
Failing to prevent shark attracts,
On those who suffer from panic attacks,
More interested in becoming political hacks,
Papering over the cracks,
And roasting words on racks,
All to fill the owners money sacks,
Is it not time we turned our backs,
And return to our shacks,
To give our children what journalism lacks....

The official name is 
Contrails
No more than condensation

The alternate one
Chemtrails 
poo pooed across the nation

I can't help notice
months go by
With none in sight

Are we to understand
that
No plane has taken flight

Yet, when they
Return
The skies are cross hatched

Such coverage in true
Journalism
Won't be matched

I've discussed it with
My brother who many
topics broaches

When they return
I call and say
There's sprayin the cockroaches...
