Journalist

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

When I turned you over in letters
Tipping the page
Why, why cry without the same
Journalist in depths I've never begun
To edit this desk
Copy me too

Kinetic Typeface Karma

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

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!

The Highest Calling

The Press
should serve
the governed
not the governors

A voice
of truth
untethered
running free

A Journalist
the highest
calling
with words intrepid

To save
the struggling nation
child
— and thee

Travel

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
I used to admire the position on the screen
But now I have possessed as chairman
I seem to be a blessed child
But I'm really blessed

The Self Delusion Resolved

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.

Rachel Sassoon Beer

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.

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”.

Great march

Run

She marched.
No shoes,
just marched —
grey patches on her legs,
stiff and hard.

Metal watching from above,
nowhere to hide,
just to walk.

She cannot sit,
she has to write.
The world must listen to the cries,
but how long can she survive?

The buzzer alerted.
It landed —
landed on her with a thud so wild.

Pen in her hand.
Pen was her guide.

tired of surgery

you where
what you not
till LA diplomacy
became my habit
toxic offender
Britain's  detainee
fleeing grey's
a runt in sign
ab stains in Russian
stoic without the light
nightmare i warred app
next bus to nowhere
findings inside papers i hide
can't re-cut the record
the cloths plain spent
too much filthy Irish ink to blink

i am a journalist

i am caring

Premium Member Julian Assange

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

loving is precious

He who loves no one,
Think about everyone,
He thinks about stupid cashiers,
To the journalist who has fun with him,
To the war in middle East

he can’t hear the birds,
The titmouse with a turquoise heart,
The blackbird with its head so green,

He who loves no one,
Cannot understand horses,
Nor admire the large cruise ships,
Like Ulysses before the sirens,
He thinks of everyone.

Jack London

Do you know Jack London,
You, young poet from Brest,
You, old fisherman,
We need to extract so much ore,
To find a gram of gold,

Whether it is the call of the forest,
Or the people of the abyss,
Your soul will find this,

Do you know Jack London,
You, high school student of Saint Joseph,
You market gardener, you baker,
You, a journalist from Le Monde,
Did you read the call from the forest again?
