Kinetic journalist 
words swerve in outlooks
Stashing produce 
In an overproduced monkey-fist world

Our evolution spells
Desertion or soil-reversing 
To untangle the fist
And document inner bliss...

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!...

I wish I could explore the whole universe
Like the journalist in town
And I dream taking copies of tall buildings
I am memorizing the continents

But now I have possessed as chairman
I seem to be a blessed child
But I'm really blessed...

I am not extremely important.
I am not powerful.
I have only minor influence.
I am a small person.

I thought I was omnipotent.
I defer to my leader,
To my country and to God.
I give my ounce of influence
To Lester Holt, journalist, NBC News.
This is my resolve.
Thank you for reading what I write....

Your thinking led you
to become a Christian
and your family 
disowned you because of that.

You were the journalist,
contributing articles
with business-like
editing decisions.

After death of your husband,
who passed the sickness on you,
you had to struggle with it for years
until you succumb victorious....

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 jeopardizes hegemony

Unveils untold injustices

Lacerates limits of freedom

Invokes imminent amendments

Answers alleged incriminations

Negates nefarious power


Antagonizes acrimonious lies

Suffers slaughter of right

Subdues surrogate meanings

Awaits apoplectical hatred

Nears noxious injection

Gulps generous hemlock

Ends evil monopoly...

My neighbor can be anyone indeed:
be loving, respectful and friendly.

I have no specific type or gender;
knock on this door and it will open.

Gloria, the red-head lady is very nice:
she can't walk and complains about pain.

Robert, the tall teen is a-journalist-to-be:
riding the bus home we discuss writing.

I am lucky to live in lovely Linderwood:
it's a beautiful place where love lives.

Call yourself a journalist ?

I very much doubt you could even spell the word correctly

The devil's in the tabloid detail

Gossip and fake news

And how many time's a lie is read

So i remind you of the cold hard facts

You couldn't write a truthful story 

If it stabbed you in the back

Your reputation proceeds you and is both earned and well deserved

As you are the answer to the question ?

What is the difference between a reporter
and a hack ?

P.M is not a pseudonym...
